Here we go, WSOP Day 31: It's a big one. 

The $50,000 Poker Players Championship will play down to a winner later today. The UK's Benny Glaser leads the final 6 six players and is in search of his 9th WSOP bracelet. 

The $1,000 Super Seniors is down to 15 remaining players and will crown a winner today. Timothy Garner leads the pack chasing the $355,263 top prize. 2004 WSOP Main Event winner Greg Raymer is still in the hunt as well – and he's got chips to play with. 

Reigning champion Lou Garza bagged up a monster stack in the $25,000 High Roller PLO/NLH Mixed. With only 14 players remaining, Garza has a title defense in his sights. He'll have to battle through a stacked field to earn it. Daniel Negreanu is still in the mix, nursing a short stack.
