H-41: $25,500 Sunday 5 Million Kicks-Off Today!
The GG Spring Festival will now see another highly anticipated event capture the attention of the poker world as H-41: $25,500 Sunday 5 Million is set to begin at 17:05 p.m. GMT. This is the second Sunday Five Million thus far and all eyes will be on that heavy guarantee that the last tournament failed to break, falling just two buy-ins short.
About two hours before play and there is already a list full of heavy-hitters signed up. Some early registrants include GGPoker ambassador Fedor Holz, Rainer Kempe, Koray Aldemir, Wiktor Malinowksi, Jans Arends, Isaac Haxton, Juan Pardo Dominguez, Dario Sammartino, David Peters, Darren Elias, Patrick Leonard, and Canada's Guillaume Nolet who took down the first Sunday Five Million just last week.
All the runners will begin with 100,000 in chips and the levels last 15 minutes each for the entire duration of the day. The tournament is played in an eight-handed format and unlimited re-entries are available during the six-hour late registration period.
The action kicks off at 7:05 p.m. GMT for a Day 1 that will not conclude until the final table of nine has been reached. All final table players will return Monday, April 11 for the final day at 8:00 p.m. GMT to battle it out until an eventual champion is crowned.

Martirosian Catapults into Early Lead

Mustapha Kanit opened from the cutoff for 1,300, Artur Martirosian called in the small blind and Justin Bonomo defended this big blind to see the

landed on the turn and Martirosian reached for chips, putting in a large bet of 23,600. Kanit hit the take but ultimately, he elected to call the bet and a 
completed the board.

for top two. It was unfortunately not enough for Kanit when the Russian turned over his 
, giving him a set and the pot.
