The WPT's latest Main Event has broken all previous records after welcoming 1,795 players to the felt.
After putting up a $5 million guarantee, the $3,500 MTT smashed last year's total by more than 1,200 players (542 entrants in 2013) and made the Floridian tournament the largest ever WPT Main Event.
Having welcomed a host of pros and local grinders, the last WPT before the World Championships is now down to its finale and leading the way with more than 18 million chips is Mukul Pahuja.
Joining Pahuja at the pro-heavy final table is James Mackey (11,680,000), Chance Kornuth (5,315,000) and Matt Stout (3,665,000).
Also in the mix and looking for their first WPT titles will be Eric Afriat (6,760,000) and Jacob Bazeley (7,305,000).
Trickett's One Drop plans

| Invest in Sam |
Sam Trickett will be playing this year's WSOP Big One for One Drop, but instead of using someone else's money to buy-in he'll be stumping up the $1 million entrance fee himself.
Writing in his latest blog for Everest Poker, Sam explained that when he finished second in 2012 he had a backer, but since scooping $10 million he's bankrolled himself in a number of Super High Rollers.
However, for those that are worried his investment could put his bankroll in a tight spot, Sam has said he will be selling pieces of his action.
Although he didn't state how much he'll be offering, he did say that he would struggle to make that sort of money back because "[cash] games aren't big enough" at the moment.
On top of selling action, Sam will also be giving away 10% of his WSOP earnings to Everest Poker players who win one of the site's special tournaments.

Question of the Day

Dan 
Junglemandan Cates emerged as the latest high stakes champion after raking in $369,447 over the course of 1,000 hands. That haul not only helped push the American pro's 2014 profit closer to $1 million mark, but it put him ahead of 'cottonseed1' and Patrik Antonius on the daily leaderboard.
Feeling the force of a resurgent Cates in the last 24 hours was Phil Ivey and Niki Jedlicka. After dropping $241,036 after just 150 hands, Ivey finished just behind Jedlicka on the daily loss leaderboard.
