Six players are returning to Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas to play some overtime after Event #14: $25,000 GGMillion$ Single Day Turbo played deep into the night at the World Series of Poker Paradise.
What was initially scheduled as a one-day sprint turned into a marathon, as 287 entries smashed the $5 million guarantee, creating a $7,318,500 prize pool, with $1,534,645 and a coveted WSOP gold bracelet awaiting the eventual champion. Exhaustion finally set in during the early morning hours, forcing play to halt with just six players remaining.

Iago Sturzeneker comes into the final day holding a commanding chip lead with 33,800,000 as he looks to secure his first WSOP bracelet, sitting with more than double the stack of Ramiro Petrone (13,300,000) in second place, while Eelis Parssinen rounds out the top three (12,300,000).

Day 1 delivered exactly what the GGMillion$ Single Day Turbo promised, fast levels, and nonstop all-in confrontations. The field was whittled down at a relentless pace as elite pros, high-stakes regulars, and bracelet winners flooded the tables, all looking to capitalize on the turbo structure.

Sturzeneker found himself the dominant chip leader after a massive decision for nearly half the chips in play to end the night on Day 1. After Michael Moncek shoved for roughly three times the pot on the river, Sturzeneker made a gutsy hero call. Moncek revealed a busted straight draw, while Sturzeneker turned over top pair to seize control and close the night as the clear favorite.
