The other $1 million guarantee game starts today, but ends tomorrow. WPT #14 High Roller Championship is a two-day event with 16 minute blinds that costs $10,300 to enter.

WPT Grand and WPT Super $215 now in Action

Lyle Bateman

The first two games of the day are now underway, with the final phase of the WPT Grand and the WPT Super $215 kicking off. WPT Super $215 plays 10 minute blinds through the day in a progressive knockout format. Players start the day with 100,000 chips and can late register or re-enter through the first 12 levels.

The WPT Grand is the Final Phase of this phased event that lets players buy 1 million chips on the final day for $1,050, or play one of the earlier, less expensive phases to bag a final phase stack that is potentially larger than 1 million. Dan Moran is one of the players to do that, as he led the counts before action even started today, coming into the final phase with 2,677,053 and the chip lead.

Both games have some distance to go before they hit the guarantee, but with 12 levels of registration in both games there is is plenty of time to get there. Stay tuned here for updates on the action through the day.

Lyle Bateman

They didn't quite hit the $100,000 guarantee in the WPT Super $215, but they came very close. There were 484 total entries, meaning they collected $96,800.

That means 79 players will share in the prizes, with almost $7,200 up top for the win. Everyone who makes the final nine is guaranteed at least $850, while the earliest paid busts will pocket $219 on the way out.
