The action is now underway for Day 2 the 2022 888Poker Millions Superstorm Main Event.
The final Day 1 flight is now over, and 166 players were still left with chips at the end of one of the flights. There were a total of 913 players with 86 rebuys for a total of 999 entries, which fell just shy of the 1,000 needed for the guarantee.
Just 117 of the players returning for Day 2 are set to get paid, so there is still a lot of work left to be done before the money, but there is $180,000 waiting for the winner tomorrow, and more than $600,000 sitting on the final table.
Action for Day 2 gets underway shortly, and with many players hitting the Day 2 felt with 10 big blinds or less, action could move quickly. Stay tuned to find out who makes it through the day.
The Day 1 qualifiers are still being played out for Day 2 of the Main Event from the 2022 888Poker Millions Superstorm, but players who return for today's Day 2 action will be playing for at least $1 million. There are just under 1,000 total Day 1 entries with one opening flight still in registration, and 149 players have already booked a seat in today's action.
Players started Day 1 with 10,000 chips, but the chip leader at the moment going into Day 2 is "PotofGreed" with almost 190,000 chips. Fellow Maltese player "PlumpySouyon" isn't far behind with 187k.
A few members of the 888poker team have booked a seat in Day 2 already as well, with ambassador Dominik "888Dominik" Nitsche leading the team with almost 132k to start the day. He is joined on Day 2 by fellow team members Samantha "888samantha" Abernathy and new 888poker Stream Team member David "New_Dave" Gibson playing well above his usual stakes.
Small reminder that I'll be live later and it's basically the biggest spot of my life, as I am in day 2 of the 888… https://t.co/rbPTF6LxL3
