WPT #03 The Big Game Has Started
The WPT #03 The Big Game has just started on partypoker with 214 players in the field already to compete for the $300,000 guaranteed prize pool. The $530 buy-in has attracted several familiar players to the tournament already as players like Soenke Jahn, Alex Foxen, Jochum Weenink, Ivan Banic, and Boris Kolev can be found in the top fifty of the counts.
If you want to join these players, you can enter until the end of Level 12 which should be up in about 2 hours and 45 minutes. You'll get 1,000,000 chips in your starting stack and you'll play 15-minute levels. Right now, the small blind is 5,500, the big blind 11,000, and a running ante of 1,375 is in play.
Play will continue until a winner has been crowned so jump in now while it's still possible!

WPT #01 Opener Starts at 9:05 PM CEST
The WPT #01 Opener kicks off at 9:05 p.m. CEST with the final day of the tournament.
Right now, 38 players have made it through already but Day 1c is still going on. There are around 15 minutes of late registration left in that event with 145 players left out of 280 entries. This with the 268 entries that were already collected means that the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool has already been surpassed.
Ioannis Angelou-Konstas is at the top of the counts with 2,261,718 in chips but who else will join him in the battle for a share of the prize pool?
Love PLO? You'll Love These PLO Daily Legends at partypoker
Pot Limit Omaha players are often overlooked when it comes to tournament poker. Not at partypoker where the PLO players have some incredible tournaments to get their teeth into: the PLO Daily Legends.
partypoker's Daily Legends tournaments have proven immensely popular for several reasons. They have reduced a late registration period and limited re-entries (usually just a single re-entry) which levels the playing field. They finish at a reasonable hour, too, without compromising the average stack size. They are genius really.
PLO Daily Legends follow in the same vein except they are all Omaha tournaments instead of hold'em. Buy-ins range from the $2.20 Forge and increase to the $55 Chieftain.
WPT #03 The Big Game Halfway Through Late Reg
The WPT #03 The Big Game is in the final minutes of Level 6 which means that there are only 6 more 15-minute levels left after this one before the late registration period closes.
The tournament is up to 341 entries which means that $170,400 has already been collected towards the $300,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Arturs Balodis is in the lead and followed by Manfred Hermann and Timothy Ulmer in the top three.
Soenke Jahn, Jans Arends, Alex Foxen, Julien Achard-Stropolis, and partypoker Ambassador Patrick Leonard are all in the top 20 too.

WPT #01 Opener Update
There are currently 62 players left out of the 306 entries in Day 1c of the WPT #01 Opener. As they play down to 15% of the field, 46 of them will join the 38 players in the Final Day which will start at 9:05 p.m. CEST.
Joshua Mccully is in pole position right now and followed by Dimitar Bashov and Rayan Chamas in the top three. Other familiar names in the top twenty include Daniel Smiljkovic, Conor Beresford, Soenke Jahn, Boris Kolev, Peter Traply, and partypoker Ambassador Kristen Bicknell.
