A quick glance at the remaining contenders reveals the who-is-who of the online poker scene and Andras "probirs" Nemeth leads the pack with a stack of 7,639,469. Nemeth already has two SCOOP titles under his belt from previous years and he is followed by another legend of online poker.

The progressive bounties will play a pivotal role to boost the bankroll on the final day, the smallest bounty up for grabs so far is $5,000 while Nemeth has a target of $47,500 on his head already.
