The premiere stop of the WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas is coming to a close, but before it does, the $5,000 buy-in, $15,000,000 Main Event champion has yet to be crowned. That was finally broken by $50,000 thanks to 3,010 entries.
A special 10 karat gold bracelet with blue topaz stones awaits the winner here. Plus, of course, the $2,000,000 cash prize .
This amount was fought for by 59 players in the third day yesterday. Among them was the Czech representative Michael Sklenička, who started the day from 36th place. However, he managed to collect chips from his opponents during Day 3 and made his way to today's final table.
The final table will feature 7 players and among them Michael is currently in fifth place with a stack of 16,000,000. All players already have at least $300,000 in the bag . The chipleader is Daniel Neilson from Australia who has a stack of 37,400,000.

The second day of the $10,000 6-Handed High Roller was also played yesterday , with a $1,000,000 guarantee and 169 entries. There is $411,659 waiting for the winner . Roman Hrabec also fought for this amount and sat on the unofficial seven-seat final table. He started from 4th place with a stack of 1,320,000. The chipleader was Jean-Noel Thorel with a stack of 2,625,000.
