Who's Ready for Day 1c of the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS UK Open?
Welcome to the second day of the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS UK Open with an amazing garantee of ￡1,000,000 which starts at noon, local time, with Day 1c. Yesterday featured two starting flights and the same will happen today with Day 1d kicking off at 5 PM. The Open has attracted 316 entries already, and 108 of them have made it through to Day 2, Monday, October 1.
The home of UK Poker, Dusk Till Dawn will also be running a Mega Satellite at 7 PM for ￡550 and guarantee 20 seats for the Main Event. Also happening tonight, but taking place online is Day 1 of the MILLIONS UK Main Event which will be played at 9 PM.
But back to the live action, taking the overall chip lead, for now, is Lukasz Grossmann with 10,860,000. Grossmann played Day 1b just like Graeme Cairns who bagged 7,210,000. Representing Day 1a, the only two other players that managed to collect over the 7 million mark are Kfir Ivgi with 7,060,000 and James Walker with 7,000,000 exactly.
Players will start with 1,000,000 in chips for their ￡1,100 buy-in and are scheduled to play twelve levels of 40 minutes each. The registration and reentry period will close at the start of Level 7 which should be around 4:30 PM. Players are allowed one reentry per flight. A break is scheduled after every three levels, and as usual, at the partypoker events, this tournament features a button ante.
