All the standard games today have a fresh coat of WPT paint on them, with higher guarantees - $300,000 guaranteed WPT Grand, $150,000 WPT The Weekender Final Day, and the $100,000 WPT Super $215 and WPT Super $55, and there are two other huge games with $1 million guaranteed. The WPT #12 Super High Roller Championship costs $25,500 to get into the game, and play 16 minute blind levels till a winner is decided.
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. Action for Day 1 will continue until players are in the money, when they'll bag and tag to return to play it out on September 6.
The other five games on tap will finish action today, so there's lots of action left in the day. WPT Grand gets underway at 12:05 ET, along with the WPT Super $215.

WPT Grand and WPT Super $215 now in Action
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.
Moran Still Leads WPT Grand after First Level
The first level of WPT Grand is complete now, and start-of-day leader Dan Moran still has the biggest stack. He's chipped up a bit since the start of the day, playing more than 2.7 million. David Lopez Llacer is in second with almost 2.2 million, while Michael Sklenička is just behind in third with just over 2.1 million.
Nearly two levels are complete in the faster-paced WPT Super $215. Canadian Octavian Zamfir leads the pack with $100 in bounties and more than 277,000 chips. Irish PKO specialist Dara O'Kearney is in second place with $50 in bounties and about 220,000 chips. O'Kearney literally wrote the book on PKO strategy with his recent collaboration with Barry Carter, PKO Poker Strategy.
Dan's Games
Both active games are currently being led by Dan. In WPT Grand, it is Dan Moran still leading the way as Level 2 ticks down, while in the WPT Super $215, Daniel Mohm has taken over the lead now with almost 300,000 chips.
