Welcome to Day 1f of the partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany Main Event
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.

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.
