7:05 PM GMT Start for Day 1b of the partypoker MILLIONS Online $5,300 Main Event
At 7:05 p.m. GMT, the second and last of two starting days for the 2021 partypoker MILLIONS Online $5,300 Main Event will provide players their last chance of claiming a spot on Day 2 and a share of the $5,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Day 1a attracted 591 entries and 87 of them have advanced to the next stage.
Canada's Daniel Dvoress has already secured his seat for Day 2, as have other familiar players like Andras Nemeth, Dominykas Mikolaitis, Arnaud Enselme, Joshua Hoesel, Endrit Geci, and Espen Uhlen Jorstad who finished in the top ten at the end of Day 1a.
partypoker Team members Jaime Staples, Dzmitry Urbanovich, and Jason Koon have already bagged a stack for Day 2 while the rest will come into action (again) tonight to try and join them. Other notable players have been spotted in the registration list which includes Pavel Plesuv, Anthony Spinella, Justin Ouimette, and Gediminas Uselis.
Mary Pudmoreff convinced Kristen Bicknell with her story and won the free Main Event seat with her entry on Twitter:
When the action kicks off, players will start with 1,000,000 in their starting stacks. Level duration today will last 25 minutes throughout and players can reenter once if things go wrong during their first bullet. But this is only possible during the first nine levels of the day as registration will close after that.
Day 1b will end once 15% of the field is left before the surviving players can take a break and recharge for Day 2, Monday, March 1 at 7:05 p.m. GMT. On Day 2, the level duration will increase to 30 minutes and ten levels will be played before breaking for Day 3. From there onwards, the duration will be increased to 40 minutes each. On Day 3, play will continue until the final table has been reached which will play out on Wednesday, March 3.
partypoker will be streaming the action from Day 3 onwards on their Twitch channel with hole cards on a 30-minute security delay, but in the meantime, make sure to watch along with the trials and tribulations of any of the other partypoker Twitch Team members like Jeff Gross, Matt Staples, Courtney Gee, and Monika Zukowicz while they battle the online tournament fields.
PokerNews will be there from the first level until the Day 2 bubble has burst so make sure to follow along with the live updates over here.
