Sergey Verkhoturov Leads Record-Breaking partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Russia Main Event

Will Shillibier

Level 14 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Russia broke the record for the largest poker event in Russian history, on the day that 231 players advanced to Day 3 at the Sochi Casino & Resort.

Of those 231, 161 players will cash, with a min-cash worth 5,800 Casino Sochi Units (CSU) (approx. $5,000). The winner will walk away with a cool 1,160,000 CSU (approx. $1,000,000).

Leading the way into Day 3 is Sergey Verkhoturov with 11,050,000. In the last level of the night he picked up Kings and Aces in quick succession, taking them to showdown on the river to win multi-million chip pots which saw him soar to the top of the chip counts.

Joining him is the player sat immediately to his left Alexander Krasuntcev (10,350,000) as well as other big stacks Yury Masliakou (10,905,000) and Gary Banks (10,455,000).

Both Day 1A chip leader Matt Eardley (4,900,000) and Day 1B chip leader Dmitriy Kopyl (5,455,000) will be advancing to Day 3.

partypoker still has a strong presence with several satellite and online qualifiers making it through to Day 3, along with Sponsored Pros Anatoly Filatov, Johnny Lodden and Richard Dubini (4,715,000).

Among the players who failed to make it through to Day 3 are Leon Tsoukernik, Mikhail Shalamov, partypoker Chairman Mike Sexton, Roman Cieslik, Pavel Shirshikov, Manig Loeser, and Aleksandar Tomovic.

However, moving on to Day 3 are the likes of Bertrand Grospellier (4,130,000), Jeff Lisandro (5,335,000), Konstantin Puchkov (8,635,000), Philipp Zukernik (3,330,000), Shyngis Satubayev (2,325,000), Mark Mccluskey (4,680,000), Peter Smyth (4,443,000), Andrey Pateychuk (7,465,000), Manig Loeser (4,350,000) and Vytautas Milbutas (5,400,000).

"Steve, What Have You Won?"

Will Shillibier

Level 13 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer, Anatoly Filatov and Martin Kabrhel

There was a discussion between partypoker Sponsored Pro Anatoly Filatov and another Russian player at the table. We heard tablemate Steve O'Dwyer's name mentioned a couple of times, and it culminated in Filatov asking O'Dwyer the following question.

"Steve, what have you won?" asked Filatov, "EPT Monte Carlo, couple of High Rollers."

O'Dwyer smiled. "Seven, actually," he replied.

"Don't worry," Filatov said to his friend, "He wins a lot but he's a fish! Very tight. He likes to travel a lot!"

"And now you come to Russia!" exclaimed a smiling Martin Kabrhel.
