All players are guaranteed at least $4,934 but will all be looking to claim a bigger share of the $1,536,000 prize pool. The eventual winner will walk away on Tuesday with $261,489.

Craig "onscreen1234" Shannon is one of the more well-known Twitch streamers from the UK known as "ONSCREEN". Lately, he has also been streaming poker and while he has played the game for many years, he seems to be making waves as this is his second Day 2 appearance in a weekly final. He even won £5,000 last night after putting a £155 bet on the roulette table after the tournament was paused. He asked for number 11, and hit it! Shannon returns with just over eleven big blinds and will be looking to spin that up immediately.
When the players return, they will finish the remainder of Level 22 which has a small blind of 12,500, a big blind of 25,000, and a running ante of 3,250. Level duration will remain at 20 minutes until there are 40 players left, the duration will then increase to 25 minutes for each level. Play will continue until the final table has been determined which will be played out on Tuesday.
PokerNews will be here from the first shove until the final table has been reached so keep following the updates right here.
