De Laat Show

Nível 24 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Bas De Laat opened to 37,000 from the hijack position and only Marc Macdonnell in the big blind made the call. The flop of saw both men check and they did the same across the turn and river.

We're finally at the stage of Day 1 where players start pushing the percentages pre-flop instead of post-flop in an effort to chip up and put themselves in contention not just for a stack on Day 2, but a good one.

Joep Raemaekers moved all-in over the top of a standard opening bet to commit his entire 370,000 stack and he was re-raised all-in by the player in the next seat, Jonathan Concepcion.

Concepcion held while Raemaekers was drawing very thin with . The board came out to see Raemaekers eliminated and Concepcion win himself a playable stack.

Eminoglu the Chip Leader

Nível 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante

Yucel Eminoglu has the chip lead in the Day 1d field here at Dusk Till Dawn in the #partypokerLIVE MILLIONS Main Event and he could easily have had even more chips with a little rungood.

"I called an all-in in a 1.5 million-chip pot with Ace-Queen and he had King-Queen but hit a king on the river. If I won that pot, I'd have 5.5 million, but four is good for now." Eminoglu told us.

The Turkish player, well known in Britain for his entertaining table chat, has over $594,000 in live tournament cashes. He'll be after that £1m guaranteed top prize.

In or Out?

Nível 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante

While some players are thriving, other are surviving... or not.

Spanish professional Javier Gomez will be back to try again tomorrow after busting this evening on Day 1d. Day 1e beckons for Gomez, but doesn't quite yet for Natalia Breviglieri, although the partypoker ambassador hasn't really got going so far today, off to a slow start and having struggled to parity with her starting stack at the beginning of the day (720,000)

Others are showing a little more momentum, and although his dad Paul Jackson busted earlier, it hasn;t affected son Ben at all. He's up to 1.2 million and building steadily.

Ben Jackson	1,200,000	50,000
Natalia Breviglieri	730,000	-70,000

Wilson Gets Concepcion

Nível 26 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

Daniel Wilson has eliminated Jonathan Concepcion in a 15-minute hand that took place during the players' break.

On a board reading , Concepcion had moved all-in for his final 656,000 on the river. Wilson had a huge decision and tanked for 12 of the 15 minutes it took to complete the hand. He eventually made a stunning call with against Concepcion's to take the hand with ace high and move to a whopping 3600000.

That hand could be pivotal come Sunday, and Daniel Wilson may well look back on it with pride.

Murphy and Greenwood

Nível 26 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

An epic battle occurred in one hand which took a quarter of a blind level and involved both the chip leader and one of the most successful tournament players this year.

Luc Greenwood and Neal Murphy did battle across a hand we joined on the river but were reliably informed by tablemate Jonty Willis that both the turn and river were checked. The pot was already at 780,000 and the board showed when Greenwood bet 350,000 from early position. That was when Neal Murphy moved all-in for over 5 million chips and sat back, waiting for Greenwood to make a decision which looked painful.

Eventually, well into the final break of the day, Greenwood folded, leaving himself a playable stack with which to attack the final level. Murphy raked in a huge pot and to put it into context now has nearly two million more chips that Giovani Rizzo has taken through to Day 3 from the Vienna MILLIONS Day 2 just the other day. Incredible.
