Level 12 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Day 1f of the €1 million guaranteed partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany €1,100 Main Event at King's Casino Rozvadov was a huge success with 384 entrants joining the field or almost 100 players more more than the 291 attracted during the first five opening days (two online at partypoker and three live at King's Casino) combined.

A total of 132 players bagged chips from the Day 1f field making it a total of 215 players thus far that have advanced to Day 2 with one more turbo opening day to be played tomorrow afternoon.

Poland's Prezes managed the best day out of the players in the Day 1f field after bagging 810,000.

Prezes will still enter Day 2 chasing Day 1a chip leader Jung Dirg. has managed to hold on to the overall chip lead going into the rest of the tournament.

Also bagging a big stack was former EPT Grand Final champion Jan Bendick from the Czech Republic with 804,000 chips. A good part of his success came during the midway point of the tournament after a four-way all-in where he held pocket kings. His three other opponents held pocket aces, pocket queens and ace-queen suited, however, the board ran out with four clubs giving Bendik a flush and a pot worth almost 400,000.

Other players finishing Day 1f with big stacks included Czech Republic's Josef Rettenwender with 784,000 and Netherlands' Peter Pan with 668,500.

Partypoker Ambassador Natalia Breviglieri was among the players that were unable to advance in today's field, but it wasn't without trying after firing two bullets. She plans to play again tomorrow.

Two other poker pros also bought in twice and left the field without bagging chips including Germany's Philip Gruissem and Ludovic Geilich.

Meanwhile, partypoker Ambassador, Russia's Anatoly Filatov had a day to remember. He not only was able to bag 337,500 chips on his second bullet of the day but also managed to win the partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany €2,200 High Roller earlier in the day for €42,000 as part of a three-way deal. He was also fired up about betting on Real Madrid and them shipping the Champions League title by a score of four to one. He said the best part of the win was getting a free dinner from a friend that won big money in a cash game.

In addition to the Main Event and the conclusion of the High Roller, today was a big day for poker players with a handful of side events taking place. Those looking for some excitement away from the felt were in luck with a high-energy VIP party full of dancing and drinks.

The final opening day of the Main Event, the turbo-charged Day 1g, will kick off at 12 p.m. local time tomorrow. As soon as that ends, Day 2 will begin at 3:30 p.m. local time. The PokerNews live reporting team will be back on the floor to provide complete coverage of both the final opening day and Day 2.

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

There are two kinds of setups. The one where you run eights into tens in a blind battle at the Friday night home game, and the one where four players get it all in in a partypoker LIVE Million Germany Main Event with aces, kings, queens and ace-queen suited.

Former EPT Grand Final champion Jan Bendik opened the action to 3,500 and got a call from seat 3 before seat 4 squeezed to 8,700. That prompted an all-in for 37,500 from seat 6, an all-in for 62,000 from a seat 7 and both Bendik and the first reraiser committed their stacks.

Bendik:
Seat 4:
Seat 5:
Seat 7:

The was safe for the red aces, but the turn put a flush draw on board for Bendik, and the Slovak got there when the dealer burned and turned the on the river.

Bendik dragged the massive pot, eliminated all three players in the process, and is now sitting on one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Natalia Breviglieri The Latest "Table of Death" Victim

Jaxon

Level 5 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Partypoker Ambassador Natalia Breviglieri dubbed the table in the back of the room she and Rehman Kassam were playing on together to start the day the "Table of Death" due to the wild play many of the players have been exhibiting.

While Breviglieri may not have minded a table change, she left the table unfortunately due to losing her hands against an opponent she shared has been bluffing all day except against her.

She shared with PokerNews that she plans to re-enter today's field. However, first, she will take a break to recharge her batteries.

Speaking of Kassam, on a different table, he won an uncontested pot preflop from the button and afterward said with excitement, "now things are going well."

He has run up his stack on his second bullet to about 120,000 thus far. Kassam not only tries to be funny and friendly but has also had some success on the poker felt. We earlier shared that he won the PokerStars Festival London earlier this year for £89,320. Additionally, he has had several close calls here at King's Casino including a 38th place finish in the partypoker Grand Prix Germany Main Event in April. He also had two final table finishes in side events at King's Casino this year during other poker festivals.
