Welcome to Day 1g of the partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany Main Event
Welcome to Day 1g of the partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany €1,100 Main Event featuring a huge €1 million guaranteed prize pool at King's Casino Rozvadov. Unlike the other live opening flights, Day 1g is a turbo affair with 15-minute blinds. Another difference is that play will be six-max instead of full-ring. Similar to the other flights, players will start off with a big stack of 100,000 in chips.
Thus far 675 entrants entered the first six opening days with Day 1a, Day 1d, Day 1e and Day 1f taking place live at the casino and Day 1b and Day 1c taking place online at partypoker. Yesterday's Day 1f field attracted 384 players or more than the 291 from the first four opening days combined. Today's Day 1e field size is expected to eclipse this number.
Day 1g of the Main Event needs to attract another 325 entrants to meet the huge €1 million guaranteed prize pool before late registration closes before the start of Level 11.
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.
Getting through to Day 2 during yesterday's Day 1f flight was Russian partypoker Ambassador Anatoly Filatov with 337,500. He late entered the tournament yesterday after winning the partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany €2,200 High Roller for €42,000 as part of a three-way deal.
Hoping to join him is fellow ambassador Natalia Breviglieri, who won Friday's partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany Charity Event. Breviglieri is hoping Day 1g will be her charm for the Main Event after failing to advance during previous attempts in Day 1e and Day 1f.
As has been the case during all opening flights, players will begin the Main Event with 100,000 chips.
