They are still some ways from the $300,000 guarantee in WPT Grand, but they've already collected more than $180,000 towards it, with more than 1.5 hours to go in entry. Dan Moran is still in the lead, and he's chipped up significantly to almost 4.4 million. That's about 1 million more than second place Ramiro Petrone.
Jamie Nixon briefly lost the lead in WPT Super $215, but he's regained it again, and picked up a bounty in the process. Nixon now has almost 464,000 chips plus $50 in his pocket.
Jason Koon is now leading WPT #12 Super High Roller. The field is up to 16 players now, with $400,000 collected so far, and Koon has 141,930 chips to lead the field. Pascal Lefrancois sits just behind in second with 133,515.
Timothy Adams is now in the lead of WPT #12 Super High Roller with 167,293. Jason Koon and Pascal Lefrancois still have about the same stacks they did before, but Marius Gierse has jumped into the top mix with 134,174, good for second place.
Wiktor Malinowski takes the lead to the break in the biggest game of the day, with the field up to 18 entries now. The collected prizes in WPT Grand are over $200,000 with about 1.25 hours to go in registration.
The WPT Super $215 has 456 entries for $91,200 collected on its $100,000 guarantee while WPT Super $55 has 1,581 entries for just under $80,000 collected. That game has just under an hour to get in.

Isaac Haxton was among the first players seated for WPT #12, but he was also the first person to stand up and leave the tables. Haxton busted before the first break, and so far hasn't elected to rebuy. Igor Gubenok also lost his stack and chose not to get another one.
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.
