Punsri Leads 74 Survivors Into GGMillion$ Day 2
The €8,400 GGMillion$ High Roller resumes today at King’s Casino in Hilton Prague, with 74 players returning for Day 2 after a 205-entry opening day that played through ten levels of action. Late registration remains open until the end of Level 12, so the field is still not completely set as the tournament moves deeper.
Thailand’s Punnat Punsri leads the way with 829,000 after a strong closing session, closely followed by Andre Marques (806,500) and France’s Alexandre Reard (710,000). Hugo Machado (673,000) and Alf Martinsson (669,000) also finished inside the top five, with several big names sitting just behind them as the field condenses.
