The latest edition of the GGPoker Super MILLION$ has reached the final table stage, with only nine of the 174 starters remaining in contention for the lion's share of the $1,740,000 prize pool. Each of those nine finalists is guaranteed to take away no less than $50,524 for their efforts, but the top six finishers win a six-figure sum, with the eventual champion netting a cool $353,673.

Play resumes at 6:00 p.m. GMT with the GGPoker stream team streaming all the action, with hole cards on display, from the world go. Jeff Gross will be joined by a special guest as they bring you fun and informative commentating from online poker's biggest weekly tournament.

GGPoker MILLION$ Online Final Table Chip Counts

Vladimir "GEOMETRIYAEMILY" Minko is the player that goes into the star-studded final table with the chip lead, and is the only finalist holding a stack worth more than 100 big blinds. Minko has 4,221,145 chips (106 big blinds) and will fancy his chances of securing one of the larger prizes. This is the first time we have seen Minko at a Super MILLION$ final table, and he is determined to make the most of this opportunity. Minko may be a relative unknown compared to some of the finalists, but that could well work in his favor.

Eelis Parssinen is better known for his pot-limit Omaha prowess, but the flying Finn knows his way around a no-limit Hold'em table, too. Parsinnen takes his seat under the spotlight with an arsenal of 2,913,131 chips (73 big blinds) and a legitimate shot of becoming a Super MILLION$ champion for the first time. This is the third consecutive week Parssinen has cashed in this event. Perhaps it will be a case of third time's a charm for the World Series of Poker bracelet winner, and he can finally win this high-stakes affair?

Third place at the restart is where you find Oliver Weis and his 2,645,440 stack (66 big blinds). Weis does not play many Super MILLION$ but he is a talented tournament grinder, one with almost $1.5 million in cashes at GGPoker alone. Weis can count a GGMasters title among his many accomplishments. He will be confident of adding a Super MILLION$ title to his long list of poker victories.

GGPoker Super MILLION$ Final Table Payouts

Israeli WSOP bracelet winner Ravid Garbi is another player hunting for his first victory in this event, and he has a hidden weapon up his sleeve: the run-good of Daniel Dvoress. Garbi sold 55.5% of his action via GGPoker's in-built staking software. High roller specialist Dvoress purchased 50% of Garbi's action, so is now guaranteed $25,000 but as much as $176,000 if Garb turns his 2,581,719 (65 big blinds) into a victory tonight.

Like Parssinen, Andrei "Mr-Doberman" Nikonorov sits down at the final table having recorded three Super MILLION$ cash in a row. Last week, Nikonorov busted in eighth place when he committed his short stack with pocket nines and ran into the kings of eventual third-place finish Rodrigo Sirichuk. Nikonorov sits down at this week's final table with 1,880,220 (47 big blinds) and a plan to avoid cowboys early on. We will see how that works out for the Russian WSOP Circuit ring winner.

Sirichuk finished third last week for a score in excess of $200,000 and is looking to go two places deeper this time around. The Brazilian grinder, who is armed with 1,259,713 chips (32 big blinds), needs a sixth-place finish or better to push his GGPoker winnings north of $4.5 million. Should Sirichuk finish second or march onto victory, he will best the $250,839 score he capture back in May when he won the $25,500 Super High Roller after a four-handed chop.

The remaining trio of finalists have sub-20 big blind stacks and need to improve their positions sooner rather than later if they are to become a coveted GGPoker Super MILLION$ champion. Johannes "Hazes" Straver occupies seventh place courtesy of his 768,006 stack (19 big blinds). Straver has a GGMaster title on his resume; now he is hunting for a Super MILLION$ badge on his profile.

Russia's "spaise411" is a regular in this high-stakes tournament but they are yet to walk away with top honours despite several final table finishes. In early May, spaise411 finished third in a special edition of the Super MILLION$ and scooped a cool $701,380 payout. More recently, only three weeks ago, they finished sixth for $106,018. The Russian is armed with a stack of 713,596 chips (18 big blinds) as they attempt to win as much prize money as possible for the 11 GGPoker players who bought a slice of their action.

Mexico-based grinder "joyeux" is the player bringing up the rear with their 417,030 stack (10 big blinds). They last reached the Super MILLION$ final table on February 15, where their run ended in an eighth-place finish worth $78,986.
