The first three events of the $2.2 million guaranteed Grand Prix KO<\/strong><\/a> series are reaching their Day 2s, meaning you only have a handful of chances left to qualify for the Mini 6-Max<\/strong>, 6-Max<\/strong>, and the 6-Max High Roller<\/strong>. Let us take a look at how things stand currently with only a trio of flights remaining.<\/p>\n

Grand Prix KO #01 Mini 6-Max Top 10 Chip Counts<\/h2>\n

So far, 9,620 players have bought into the $5.50 Grand Prix KO #01: Mini 6-Max<\/strong>, and 1,365 of them are safely through to Day 2. Only three flights remain, they take place at 14:05, 17:05, and 18:30 BST on july 26.<\/p>\n

Finland’s Jussi Korhonen<\/strong> is the man to catch right now, courtesy of accumulating 2,749,232 chips from his flight. The flying Finn already has $11.56 worth of bounty payments nestled safely in his partypoker<\/a> account, which means he is essentially freerolling towards the big payouts.<\/p>\n

Torsten Schluck<\/strong> of Germany is Korhonen’s nearest rival in terms of chips. The German grinder has 2,666,887 chips in his stack and must fancy his chances of grand Prix glory when Day 2 commences at 20:05 BST on July 26.<\/p>\n

Everyone else in the top 10 chip counts has more than two million chips in their arsenal. A special mention has to go to the player in fifth-place right now, Belgian Michael Ekwan<\/strong>. He has eliminated 13 opponents so far and has $27.97 worth of bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Grand Prix KO #02 6-Max Top 10 Chip Counts<\/h2>\n

The $55 Grand Prix KO #02 6-Max<\/strong> also has three flights remaining, at 14:05, 17:05, and 18:30 BST before Day 2 shuffles up and deals at 20:05 BST on July 26. Some 5,672 players have bought in, which means the $250,000 guarantee has already been surpassed. Only 839 players have chips in front of them on Day 2.<\/p>\n

Kazakhstan may not be the first county you think of when it comes to poker, but Alexandr Khvan<\/strong> is determined to put the country on the poker map. Unless someone bags up three million chips on one opf the remaining three flights, he should go into Day 2 as the chip leader with 2,945,351.<\/p>\n

Khvan has collected the third-most bounties at this stage, with $192.19. Only Eighth-placed Yassin Allam<\/strong> ($196.87 of bounties and 1,948,084 chips), and Carlos Martinez<\/strong> ($206.23 and 1,853,317) have helped themselves to more of the bounty prize pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Grand Prix KO #03 6-Max High Roller Top 10 Chip Counts<\/h2>\n

Only two flights, 15:05 and 17:05 BST, remain in the $530 Grand Prix KO High Roller<\/strong> event. The completed flights attracted 963 entrants and 144 of them are safely through to Day 2 at 20:05 BST on July 26.<\/p>\n

Johannes Straver holds the chip lead with just the two flights remaining, the Austrian returns to the battlefield having already collected $1,906 from the bounty prize pool, and with 1,975,797 chips in play.<\/p>\n

Straver pipped Luan Felipe Leonel Hertmann<\/strong> to the chip lead, with Hertmann bagging up 1,966,454 chips at the end of his flight. The very first flight’s chip leader, Tomi Brouk<\/strong><\/a>, has slid down the chip counts, but is still sixth right now courtesy of his 1,719,552 stack and $1,687 worth of bounty payments.<\/p>\n

A handful of Team partypoker<\/strong><\/a> players will be present and correct on Day 2, so look out for that famous orange diamond in the chip counts. Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a> (1,158,620) is the best-placed of our team. He is joined by Joao Simao<\/strong><\/a> (827,494), Matthew Staples<\/strong> (462,740), and Jeff Gross<\/strong><\/a> (154,590).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
