Today is a big day for those looking for poker glory and a big payday with many big WSOP events taking place at GGPoker.
One of the biggest events for four-card players resumed today with Event #42: $400 PLOSSUS kicking off at 7 p.m. GMT/3 p.m. EDT.
The event's lofty $1 million guarantee was smashed with 4,356 entrants joining in on the action during the 15 opening flights to generate a $1,637,856 prize pool.
The field has already been trimmed to just 642 players with 548 players guaranteed a $938 payday.
Finnish poker legend Juha Helppi is in good shape in his quest to win his second bracelet this festival in PLO and third overall bracelet as he heads into the second day with a chip leading stack of 1,410,836.
Helppi won his first bracelet last year after shipping Event #72: $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship for $306,422.
He followed that up last week online by winning his second bracelet in Event #35: $5,000 PLO Championship for $290,286 payday.
Players closest on Helppi's tail are "Katya 21" (1,344,176), "Vasooli Bhai" (1,286,969), and "Kultti" (1,280,775).
Today's six-max PLO action features 15-minute blind levels starting at 4,500/9,000 and will continue until the nine-max final table is reached at which point all remaining players will be guaranteed at least $14,597.
The final table will be live-streamed on Saturday, August 1 with hole cards displayed on GGPoker.tv.
Tomorrow's eventual winner will go home not only with a huge $221,557 top prize but also a WSOP Europe package valued at $15,000 and a coveted WSOP gold bracelet shipped to their doorstep.
