$25,500 Super High Roller
Day 1 Started
Another day, another high roller at the Playground Poker Club in Montreal, Canada! After the $10,300 High Roller concluded yesterday, everyone is now gearing up for the partypoker MILLIONS North America $25,300 Super High Roller. The action is slated to kick off again at 12:00 PM local time and the players will be looking forward to another $1,000,000 guaranteed prizepool.
The structures will be very similar in nature, as players will once again begin with a healthy stack of 1,000,000 chips. The blinds will open up at 5,000/10,000 with a 5,000 button ante. After the first level, the button ante will then become equal to that of the big blind. The blind levels will continue to be 40-minutes in length with a 15-minute break after every three levels.
Late registration will remain open for the better part of Day 1, closing after the end of level nine at approximately 6:45 PM EST. Only one re-entry will be permitted per each player, should their first bullet not work out so well. A total of 12 levels will be on tap for the opening day, at which point players will bag and tag to return for the final day.
The PokerNews live reporting team will bring you all of the live coverage throughout the event.
