A total of 234 entries took to the felt in Day 1c of the $1,100 buy-in MILLIONS Open at the Caribbean Poker Party Festival, but only 140 bagged chips at the conclusion of play. Although no player in this starting flight bagged a bigger stack than Barny Boatman, who ended Day 1a with 7,415,000, partypoker Sponsored Pro Marcel Luske (2,741,000) sits among the top stacks on the list of Day 1c contenders. The top five are Darlin Nataniel Quezada Lagares (4,045,000), Vincent Tremblay (3,918,000), Harry Law (3,569,000), Florian Hoeller (3,375,000), and Glib Tremzin (3,359,000).

Quite a few other well-known players advanced to Day 2, including several of partypoker's finest. Partypoker Chairman Mike Sexton ended the day with 1,335,000, and partypoker Sponsored Pros Natalia Breviglieri (2,000,000) and Kristin Bicknell (969,000) will also return when Day 2 begins at noon on Sunday, as will team partypoker online pro Louise Butler (730,000). In addition, partypoker Head of Poker Tom Waters ended his day with 2,199,000. Other prominent players who bagged chips at the end of the night include Mike Leah (2,611,000), Mustapha Kanit (2,086,000), Donnacha O'Dea (1,900,000), Anthony Zinno (1,310,000), Kevin MacPhee (1,634,000), and Koray Aldemir (404,000).

Not all the familiar faces who tried their luck today were fortunate enough to bag chips. Jason Wheeler, Thai Ha, and John Duthie were among the fallen.

Day 1d began at 9:00 p.m. local time and late registration will remain open until the conclusion of level 12 on Day 2, so it's absolutely anybody's tournament.

Leah Loses Some

Level 8 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With about 120,000 already in the middle and the board reading {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}, Mike Leah checked from the big blind to his lone opponent in early position. He bet 50,000 and Leah called.

The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and Leah checked again. His opponent bet 110,000 and Leah called.

The {9-Spades} fell on the river and both players checked. Leah tabled {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} but his fives were no good against his opponent's {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for two pair.

The turn brought the {4-Clubs} and both players checked.

The {K-Diamonds} fell on the river and the small blind bet 175,000. O'Dea shoved for 404,000, the small blind quickly called, and O'Dea instantly tabled {A-Spades}{10-Spades} for rivered Broadway. The small blind showed {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for top two pair, so O'Dea took the pot to double up.

Lipman Takes from Duthie

Level 7 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

John Duthie limped from middle position, the small blind completed, and Coach Lipman raised to 75,000 from the big blind. Duthie and the small blind both called.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades} and action checked around.

The turn brought the {A-Spades} and the small blind checked. Lipman bet 225,000, Duthie called, and the small blind folded.

The {8-Clubs} fell on the river and Lipman shoved for what looked like 352,000, sending Duthie into the tank. He ultimately folded and Lipman took the pot.
