The Gods of Poker Phnom Penh: The Coiled Path has reached a critical juncture at NagaWorld. Day 7 was defined by a massive "Overlay Alert" in the GOP Main Event and a high-stakes rematch in the Titan Stack High Roller, offering players even more value as the series enters its final stretch.

With extra value effectively injected into the prize pool by the organisers, the hunt for the black-and-gold gauntlet has never been more lucrative.

Good news for the players! The $500,000 GTD GOP Main Event is currently trending toward an overlay. Across the first four flights, 205 entries have been recorded at the $1,540 buy-in level. To fully cover the massive guarantee, the tournament requires roughly 150 more entries.

If the target isn’t met, the organisers will absorb the shortfall, meaning players are competing for a prize pool that exceeds the total buy-ins. In poker terms, it’s a boost to expected returns across the board, essentially getting more "bang for your buck" the moment you take a seat.

Your last chance to enter: Flight E (Final Flight): Starts at 6:00 PM, today, April 2, with registration closing at 10:15 PM.

Marte Sandberg Dominates Main Event Flight D

Sandberg put on a masterclass, bagging 857,500, which is equivalent to a staggering seven starting stacks.

Campos Claims Revenge in Titan Stack High Roller

The $4,400 Titan Stack High Roller felt like déjà vu. For the second time this week, Gustavo Silva Campos and Wouter Beltz found themselves heads-up for a gauntlet trophy. While Beltz won their previous encounter in the Super High Roller, this time it was Campos who emerged as the victor.
