System Delay
Check that previous excited briefing. There has been an announcement by Tournament Director and poker legend Simon Trumper that a slight technical problem with the system has led to a delay.
Players have been asked to take to the tables in 15 minutes time, so we will kick off at 2.30pm local time.
Everyone is chomping at the bit to bring you the MILLIONS Main Event action...even us here at Pokernews !
Runners Break The Tape
Play is under way here at Dusk Till Dawn for Day 1e of the partypokerLIVE MILLIONS Main Event after a slight delay.
We have 309 entries up on the board and some terrific table draws. We'll bring you the highlights as we progress, but cards are finally in the air and 'Shuffle up and deal' has just been announced.
Welcome to Day 1e of the £5,300 partypokerLIVE MILLIONS Main Event
With 193 entries in Day 1d, the pioneering £6m guaranteed partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Main Event reaches another Day 1 with the opportunity for players to try to reach a Day 2 seat across ten levels of top class poker action.
With the £1million minimum top prize now looming large for players of all levels, today's raft of entrants will feature more direct buy-ins as big names continue to flock to the home of Robin Hood and Nottingham Forest in a bid to walk away with the biggest prize ever awarded in a live tournament on British soil.
Yesterday saw Neel Murthy top the chipcounts with an incredible 7,630,500, but he was followed by Koray Aldemir (5,373,000), Britain's Paul Siddle (5,321,000) and WSOP Main Event finalist Kenny Hallaert, who bagged up 4,907,500. Those are some very big Day 2 stacks to try and top for today's players, with Murthy the man to shoot for across the tournament itself.
Phase 1 players through last night include Qin Ling (1,977,000), Jake Quinsee (805,500) and Adrian Veghinas (1,279,500) but there are dozens through from online and with many big names expected to buy into the MILLLIONS Main Event on Friday, plenty of professionals and amateurs alike will surely pitch up today in an attempt to find an edge in what is increasing turning into one of the toughest fields in a £5,300 tournament.

With ten hour-long levels due to take place from 2pm local time to the close of play roughly 12.5 hours later, it will be a gruelling effort at the felt from any player lucky enough to make Day 2. But was winning a million pounds ever easy?
