Among the players to be eliminated from the High Roller to enter Day 1d of the Main Event include Spain's Francisco Jose Blanco Racionere, Greece's Georgios Vrakas and Italy's Pasquale Braco.
Tournament Director Christian Scalzi just asked the dealers to shuffle up and deal. The field is already guaranteed to be the biggest of the first five opening days with 63 players already registered.
The partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Germany Charity Event just kicked off 15 minutes ago and can now be viewed on the Live Streaming tab on a 15-minute delay.
The field should prove to be entertaining with partypoker Ambassadors Jan-Peter Jachtmann and Natalia Breviglieri in the field along with ex-German football player Stefan Effenberg and YouTube sensations Mohamed Satiane, Mirco Rosik, Miguel Pablo Berghoff and Ahmed Kayed.
Partypoker will be donating €5,000 to a charity chosen by the winner of the event.

Among the 37 players to already move onto Day 2 include partypoker Ambassador Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who will bring forward a healthy stack of 410,214 chips from the online Day 1c field. Jachtmann had a huge night last night after winning over €67,000 playing €100/€100 and €200/€200 pot-limit Omaha.
Hoping to join him are fellow ambassadors Natalia Breviglieri and Anatoly Filatov. Breviglieri will be playing with Jachtmann and five German celebrities in a charity sit-and-go tournament before she plans to hop into today's Main Event field. The tournament will be streaming live on Twitch and will be able to be viewed on our blog by clicking on the Live Streaming tab. While the sit-and-go tournament does not have a buy-in, partypoker will be donating €5,000 to the charity of the winner's choice.
Meanwhile, it is up in the the air whether Filatov enters the Main Event today or tomorrow depending on how he performs in the partypoker MILLION Germany €2,200 High Roller, which he is the current chip leader of with 60 players remaining.
Players will start off with 100,000 chips with blinds increasing every 45 minutes. Breaks will take place every three levels for 15 minutes with a 45-minute dinner break planned for around 7:30 p.m. Day 1e will end after 12 levels with players allowed to re-enter once today up until late registration is closed after Level 10 concludes.
