There are 186 entries in The Grand as players head to the break. Maarten Van Der Goes still leads the way with nearly 7 million chips, and there is still more than 20 minutes left to get into the action. That means they've collected $185,538, so 15 more entries will cap $200,000.

The Sunday 500 has just under 20 minutes to go till the gates close on registration, and there's currently $91,000 collected towards the $100,000 with 182 entries and 109 still in play. "OGrossmann_10" is the chip leader with almost 2.5 million.

The Weekender Final Day is down to just 87 players left now and "Ninjapinja" is in the lead. They have about 3.1 million chips and nearly $300 in bounties so far.

Registration is now closed in The Sunday 500, but they didn't quite make the guarantee. In the end, 189 entries combined for $94,500 collected towards the $100,000 guarantee.

That means 1st and 2nd will both get about $8,320 in this PKO game, with everyone who makes the final table of 7 players is guaranteed at least $1,600. A total of 34 players will get a payday in this one.

The Weekender Final Table field is down to just 48 players at the break now. "FourDBenderBoss" still leads the way with 5.69 million in chips, but they've upped their bounty total to $640 now.

Over in The Sunday 500, "butICM" leads with 58 players remaining. They have $218 in bounties so far and just shy of 4 million chips. Four other players have at least 3 million though, so they've got competition sniffing at their heels.

In the biggest game of the day, The Grand, there are 58 players left. Leon Sturm from Germany is the current leader with more than 8.1 million, while Maarten Van Der Goes is still in the running in 2nd with about 7.7 million.

From Green Pitch to Green Felt for Leonard

Patrick Leonard's mantra is #nevermissasunday, but for his Saturday fun, the Team partypoker grinder was playing on a different field of green yesterday. As detailed in the Tweeted Instagram link, Leonard was out on the football pitch yesterday, and his team got a 3-0 win to keep their 100% record intact.

He'll be hoping he can follow that win up with a win on a different field of green today.

Niklas Åstedt is still on top of The Grand at the break, but he doesn't have quite as much control now. He has about 12.6 million to Thomas Boivin's 11.7 million with 39 players left in action.

They were stalled at 40 left for quite a while in The Sunday 500, but just before break they got it down to 37 left. "Zalatoris 10-1" is still on top with about 6.3 million and $937 in bounties, but "JamminBenjamin" and "Imluckpads" both have more than $1,000 in bounties, and the 2nd and 3rd place stacks.

The Weekender Final Day is down to the final three tables now, with 24 players remaining. "Metagen7" is the top chip stack with 8.35 million, while "FourDBenderBoss" has about 7.26 million. Both players have around $700 in bounties at the moment.

Manig Loeser is on-board with Luxon Pay! Loeser is in Cyprus for the MILLIONS this week, and noted how much easier it is to get money in and out of Cyprus compared to a decade ago.

That is thanks to the integration of the Luxon Pay system, a multi-currency eWallet tailored to use in the live poker environment headed by Rob Yong and Neil Barrett. Luxon Pay is in use for the partypoker MILLIONS Live North Cyprus so if you are on your way there, it will be easy to get your money there too.

They really battled it out for the paid spots in The Grand but the bubble has now burst. Short stack Aram Zobian was forced all-in in the big blind, but woke up with ace-king to double, and then doubled again to more than 1 million chips.

In the end, it was Arsenii Karmatckii who ended his day in the last unpaid spot, and with the bubble burst, action is going quickly with the field down to 31 already.

Aram Zobian was the short stack on the bubble, forced all-in in the big blind with less then 1BB in the middle. They woke up with ace-king however, and survived, then managed to chip up enough to make it into the 2nd pay tier at 20th place in The Grand. There are 27 players left at the break, with Jonathan Van Fleet still leading by a large margin.

The Sunday 500 is down to 16 players remaining at the break. "CharlieD23" is at the top of the chip counts with almost 10.8 million and $640 in bounties, but several players in the top ten are well over $1,000 in bounties.

The Weekender Final Day is nearing the final table with just 14 left. "Metagen7" has the biggest stack with about 15.9 million and $695 in bounties so far.
