It looks like there could be a big overlay in the offing at the £200,000 guaranteed Genting Poker Series Grand Final in Sheffield this weekend.
After a quiet online flight just 68 entrants took to the tables for yesterday's live opener, taking the number of runners up to 87. That means 163 players need to enter today to cover the guarantee.The man in pole position to take a big chunk of that change is Tom Deane who built up a huge stack of 316,000. He has massive lead over Ali Mallu (190,500) who finished third in the Sheffield leg earlier this year and this year's Sky Poker UK Championship winner Alex Spencer who'll return on Saturday with 173,700.Twenty of Thursday's survivors made it through the nine levels of action. The full list of survivors can be seen below:Tom Deane 316600Alli Mallu 190500Alex Spencer 173700Trevor Pearson 173100Richard Hawes 145700Chinese Frankie 140400Wadey Ashraf 122000Lee Herridge 110700Mark Elliot 105100Ben Martin 99700Matt Davenport 81600Tom Dunwoodie 79000Karl Guiness 51100Ben Hall-Freeman 43200John Bousfield 39800Chris LeMarquand 39000Trevor Reardon 36300Greg Hunt 34200Grant Wheelhouse 21600Tim Hickling 19300The second and final live day 1 flight is off at 1pm with railbirds able to follow the action via livestream from 1.30pm.
