Day 1 Recap

It was Christopher Brewer who won the first $10,300 High Roller of the 2021 WPT Online Series on partypoker, but he didn't feature in this tournament.

However, plenty of other big names did including partypoker Ambassadors Kristen Bicknell, Patrick Leonard, Isaac Haxton and Mikita Badziakouski, all of which failed to cash.

Just 17 players would be assured a min-cash of $21,277 as Sam Greenwood, Niklas Astedt and former MILLIONS Online Main Event winner Benjamin Chalot all missed out. The bubble boy was Steve O'Dwyer.

The remaining players will return at 20:05 (BST) on Monday, May 24, 2021 and play down to a winner.
