Welcome to Day 1f of the partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany €1,100 Main Event featuring a huge €1 million guaranteed prize pool at King's Casino Rozvadov.
Thus far 291 entrants entered the first five opening days with Day 1a, Day 1d and Day 1e taking place live at the casino and Day 1b and Day 1c taking place online at partypoker. Yesterday's Day 1d field attracted 146 players or more than the 145 from the first four opening days combined. Today's Day 1e field size is expected to eclipse this number.
The Main Event needs to attract another 709 entrants to meet the huge €1 million guaranteed prize pool with two more opening days taking place today and tomorrow.
Currently, Day 1a chip leader Jung Dirg from Germany is in the lead with 1,227,100 chips and is the only player thus far with a seven-digit stack.

Among the 87 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.
Hoping to join him are fellow ambassadors Natalia Breviglieri and Anatoly Filatov. Breviglieri, who won yesterday's partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany Charity Event fired a bullet into the Day 1d field and later in the day shared she expected to be competing again today in the Day 1e field.
Meanwhile, Filatov has yet to enter the Main Event as he has had his hands full with the partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany €2,200 High Roller. He began the third and final day of this tournament in the chip lead with six players left. He shared he plans to join the Day 1e field after the conclusion of the High Roller.
As was the case yesterday, players will begin the Main Event with 100,000 chips with blinds increasing every 45 minutes. Breaks are planned to take place after Level 3 & Level 6 for 15 minutes before a 45-minute dinner break takes place after Level 10. Day 1f will end after 12 levels with players allowed to re-enter once today up until late registration is closed after Level 10 concludes.

Players at King's Casino are able to register tournaments using nicknames, including Germany's The Talk and Vossmesiter sitting at the same table as partypoker Twitch streamer Jonathan "Jonty" Willis.
Vossmeister opened from late position and got calls from Willis from the button and The Talk from the big blind.
Flop: 
The Talk opened up with a bet of 3,000. Willis quickly folded before Vossmeister called. The Talk fired out another bet, this time for 7,000 after the

Another seven, the 
appeared on the river. The Talk quickly check and folded almost as fast as Vossmeister tossed out a bet of 11,000.

True to his word, he flipped over 
.
Vossmeister turned over the

Level 1
: 200/400, 50 ante
The third and final day of the €2,200 High Roller is underway right now, and three players remain in contention for the trophy and the €60,000 first place prize.
Among them are partypoker Ambassador Anatoly Filatov, who came into the day with a narrow chip lead, but right now German player Andre Haneberg is the man in front with his 3,570,000 chips. The remaining players are all guaranteed a payday of at least €24,000.
You can, of course, catch the conclusion of the tournament right here at PokerNews.
Level 1
: 200/400, 50 ante
Dusk Till Dawn regular and British poker player Rehman Kassam is confident that the Main Event will meet its guarantee. He is currently seated at the same table as Natalia Breviglieri, who also just entered the field.
Kassam, who banked a massive payday of £89,320 in January after shipping the PokerStars Festival London Main Event, took a quick walk around the tournament room looking for players willing to prop bet him that it would meet the guarantee. He found one person to take his bet that it would meet the guarantee. He got the media to witness it being booked and quickly ran back to his seat to not miss too much action.
Kassam and his betting partner have a legit sweat. As the first blind level is winding down, the field has ballooned to 209 players according to the big board. After yesterday's action was in the books, the magic number was 709 more players needed for the tournament to meet its huge guarantee with two more fields to go. Now the magic number is down to just 500 players.
