Day: 1e
Josef Antoš Leads Day 1e of the partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany Main Event (full)
Level 12
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Day 1e of the €1 million guaranteed partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany €1,100 Main Event at King's Casino Rozvadov was a huge success with 146 entrants joining the field or one more than the 145 attracted during the first four opening days (two online at partypoker and two live at King's Casino) combined.
A total of 50 players bagged chips from the Day 1e field making it a total of 87 players thus far that have advanced to Day 2 with two more opening days to be played on Saturday and Sunday.
Czech Republic's Josef Antoš led the way in today's action after bagging 950,500 chips, placing him currently in second place overall just behind Day 1a chip leader Jung Dirg. Antos grabbed the chip lead early after his pocket aces held against his opponent's pocket aces and never looked back.
Other players finishing Day 1e with big stacks included Czech Republic's Petr Konáš (second - 766,900) and Netherlands' Sonay Kehya (third - 732,500).
Partypoker Ambassador Natalia Breviglieri was among the players that were unable to advance in today's field. After her elimination in the Main Event, she entered and was eliminated from the €110 King's Big Bang side event before opting to play in the 24/7 cash games hosted at the casino.
Despite her elimination from these two events, Breviglieri had a huge day after winning the partypoker Live MILLION Charity Event. Thanks to her win, she will be able to deliver a huge check of €10,000 to the Lindsey Lodge Hospice, a charity near and dear to her heart.
Two of the Partypoker ambassadors were not part of the field. Jan-Peter Jachtmann already advanced to Day 2 during one of the online opening days, while Anatoly Filatov among the final six players to bag chips in the partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany €2,200 High Roller today.
Day 1f of the Main Event will kick off at 2 p.m. local time tomorrow. As was the case today, the PokerNews live reporting team will be back on the floor to provide complete coverage. Furthermore, there will be coverage of the conclusion of the High Roller tomorrow from 12 p.m., so don't forget to tune in for another great day of poker coverage.

Matúš Schnierer Doubles Up Again
Level 11
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
Since his last double-up, Matúš Schnierer was quiet for the past few hours. That all just changed after he called a preflop bet from the button with seven-six suited and the player from the big blind also called.
The action checked around on an ace-six-three flop before Schnierer bet on the turn when another six appeared.
The player in the big blind called and then led out for 30,000 when a queen appeared on the river. Schnierer jammed for about 150,000 which almost covered his opponent who called. Schnierer collected a huge pot of around 320,000 after his hand proved good.
Meanwhile, on another table, Kuljinder Sidhu's stack went down to about 220,000 and Tomas Fara on the same table caught playing online poker at the same time as playing the Main Event has about 100,000 more with 320,000.
