The final nine players will return on Saturday, January 16 as of 6.30 p.m. UTC to play down to a champion. The action will be broadcasted with cards-up coverage and commentary on the
GGPoker.tv Twitch channel. The blinds appear to be 400,000-800,000 with a running ante of 100,000 as an average stack of 44.2 big blinds has been reached.
The Action of the Day
The final two turbo starting days wrapped up fewer than an hour prior to the start of Day 2 on which all 1,112 survivors returned to their virtual seats. They had barely played the first half a dozen hands and some 100 hopes had already vanished into thin air. It was a sign for things to come in the hours after as the tournament raced towards the money bubble.
Benjamin Rolle all cashed, the latter busting in 11th place for $116,778.
Each of the nine finalists will walk away with at least $140,979 for their $10,000 investment, which is a great return in its own right. Uruguayâs
Joaquin Melogno wants more than that sum, far more, and he leads the final nine players back into battle in the envious position of chip leader.
This is only Melognoâs third Super MILLION$ appearance and his first in-the-money finish. What a way to open your account, imagine if he goes all the way and wins the $636,072 top prize. This is his tournament to lose because heâs the only returning player with an eight-figure stack.
