The Super MILLION$ Week kicked off at GGPoker with a bang on Sunday with seven events, each guaranteed at least a $1 million prize pool, as part of the 30-event schedule taking place from Feb. 28 to March 7 including Day 1a of the Global MILLION$ $10,300 Main Event.

The festival guarantees at least $30 million in prizes with $10 million slated for the Super MILLION$ Main Event alone.

The massive Main Event guarantee could be just a place holder if Day 1a is any indication as the first of the four opening flights in the Main Event attracted 307 entrants to contribute $3,070,000 for nearly 31 percent of the guarantee.

By the end of the day, which featured 22 blind levels of 20-minutes each, just 41 of the players survived with Italy's Luigi "shadinho94" Shehadeh, playing at GGPoker under a Tunisian flag, easily ending Day 1a as the chip leader after parlaying his 100,000 opening stack more than 27-fold into a 2,705,791 in chips.

Shehadeh is no stranger to big events with more than $900,000 in live cashes according to The Hendon Mob. His success at GGPoker is double that with nearly $1.8 million in cashes heading into tonight's Day 1a.

Shehadeh was in the chip lead for the final few blind levels and this was even before he won a massive pot against Alexandros Kolonias where both players got their big stacks in the pot in with a full house. Shehadeh's full house was better and Kolonias, who was sitting pretty at the time, was unable to advance on Day 1a into Day 2.

While Shehadeh may steal the headlines as the runaway Day 1a chip leader, several other players bagged at least seven figure stacks including Pavlo Vekslar (1,617,522), Adrian Mateos (1,563,606), Stoyan "UncleToni" Obreshkov (1,453,081), Benjamin "Geraaaard" Chalot (1,420,915), Jason Koon (1,303,951), Ole Schemion (1,265,515), and Vicent Bosca Ramon (1,235,557).

Other players virtually bagging above average stacks included Sami Kelopuro, Bert Stevens, Sebastian "Weizen" Gaehl, and Ben Ward with other notables including Matthias Eibinger, Joao Vieira, Jorma Nututinen, Joakim Andersson, Connor Drinan, Andras Nemeth, Dan Smith, Marius Gierse, Damian Salas, Timothy Adams, and Samuel Vousden also advancing.

Not everything worked out for many of the players in the Day 1a field including for GGPoker Ambassador Fedor Holz. Near the end of the day, Holz called off with king-queen and was left with crumbs after Stoyan "UncleToni" Obreshkov got there with ten-eight suited. Holz was unable to mount a comeback and will have to re-enter on Day 1b (March 2), Day 1c (March 6), and/or Day 1d (March 7) to have a chance to advance to Day 2.

Day 1b Next

The tournament will resume with Day 1b on March 2 at 6 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. EST). Two more opening flights will take place at the same time on March 6 and March 7 with all surviving players advancing to Day 2 on March 8.

Surviving opening flight players will then battle it out on Day 2 on Monday, March 8 at 6 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. EST) and conclude when just nine players remain. Randy "nanonoko" Lew and Kevin "RotterdaM" van der Kooi will host a live stream of the final table when it kicks off the following day at 6 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. EST) at the GGPoker YouTube channel.

This dynamic duo will also be commentating on the final table of another big event in the $2.5 million guaranteed Event #6: $25,500 Super High Roller on March 2 at 6 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. EST).

Of course, the PokerNews Live Reporting team will also be on hand to cover these events and more, so be sure to stay tuned.

Shehadeh Delivers Kolonias a Massive Cooler

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Luigi "shadinho94" Shehadeh opened to 33,600 from early position. Alexandros Kolonias called from the button as did Damian Salas from the big blind.

Salas checked the {5-Spades}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} flop and Shehadeh bet 67,540. Kolonias called and Salas folded.

Shehadeh then bet 225,410 after the {10-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Kolonias called.

The {a-Diamonds} paired the board on the river and Shehadeh checked. Kolonias bet 496,000 and Shehadeh min-clicked it back for 992,000. Kolonias was covered and made the call.

Luigi "shadinho94" Shehadeh: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Alexandros Kolonias: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Both players had a full house but Shehadeh held the better one and won a huge pot while sending Kolonias to the rail.

Nemeth Finishes Off Holz

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Fedor Holz came back from less than one big blind to more than three but that's where it all stopped.

Andras Nemeth opened to 32,000 from early position. Holz three-bet jammed for 48,356 from the button and Nemeth called.

Fedor Holz: {q-Spades}{2-Spades}
Andras Nemeth {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Spades} flop gave Holz a flush draw and the {3-Diamonds} turn added a straight draw while leaving both of his hole cards live for a pair. None of those draws completed with the {7-Diamonds} landing on the river and Holz was eliminated near the end of Day 1a.

Break Time

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The 45 remaining players are on their eighth and final break of Day 1a. There will be about 13 minutes remaining in the final blind level when the action resumes.

Obreshkov Leaves Holz with Crumbs

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Stoyan "UncleToni" Obreshkov jammed 344,144 from the small blind and Fedor Holz called with just a little left behind from the big blind.

Stoyan "UncleToni" Obreshkov: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Fedor Holz: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Holz' preflop lead vanished in smoke after his opponent hit trips on the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop. Obreshkov improved to a full house after the {3-Spades} turn and {2-Diamonds} river completed the board and Holz was left with crumbs in his stack after the hand.

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Markus Prinz: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
EL TZOGADOR: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Prinz hit top pair on the {8-Spades}{3-Spades}{a-Diamonds} flop but was in big trouble with his opponent hitting a set. Prinz was drawing dead after the {6-Clubs} came on the turn and was eliminated on the final blind level of Day 1a after the {10-Hearts} completed the board on the river.
