Day 1c Started
In one hour from now at 6 p.m. UTC, the third of four starting days of the 2021 GGPoker Super MILLION$ Week $10,300 Main Event will kick off. The flagship of the high-stakes festival on the fastest growing online poker site comes with a guarantee of $10 million and has already covered half of that in the previous two flights.
Day 1a on February 28 featured a total of 301 players with 41 players punching their ticket for Day 2. The second starting day brought another 142 entries on Tuesday, March 2, which boosted the overall field size at half time to 449 entries. Another 18 players advanced and won't have to re-enter into the remaining two flights.
As has been the case for the previous two starting days, a total of 22 levels of 20 minutes are scheduled for today. All participants will receive 100,000 in chips, which represents 200 big blinds for the first level at blinds of 250-500 with a running ante of 60.
The late registration for Day 1c will remain open until approximately level 16 at midnight UTC and unlimited re-entries are allowed.
Everybody will be chasing a prime position for the chase to the money on Day 2 and the two chip leaders by some margin are Vlad-Stefan "HaiFanFan" Lache (2,818,433) and Luigi "shadinho94" Shehadeh (2,705,791). Will anyone be able to surpass these huge stacks today?
Among the early entrants are notables such as Carlos Chadha, Sebastian Sikorski, Yuri Dzivielevski, Simon Higgins, Alexandre "SexyBaldGuy" Mantovani, Christopher Puetz, and Idris Ambraisse. Many more big names of the international poker scene are expected to join the action.
