Ian Simpson had hovered around a million chips for two levels on a fun table including tennis legend Boris Becker. He was hardly getting involved and just chipping up steadily by firing out the odd uncalled three-bet.
"It all changed!" he told us. "I ran the nut flush into a straight flush. I was all-in, so I lost all I could."
Despite the early hit, Simpson still has 30 big blinds and will be fighting hard to get back into contention for a place in Day 2.

John Eames and Jon Clark aren't just sharing the table, but a few feet of space, sitting right next to each other in the Dusk Till Dawn marquee.
In what was a very big pot already, 700,000 sat in the middle on a board of . Eames bet 360,000 and that was enough to get Jon Clark to lay it down. In what was a crucial pot, can Eames reverse the seating power and take advantage of it against another talented player in Jon Clark?

Steve Watts told us about his exit hand after getting into a raising war against his eventual conqueror.
"We'd been going at each other, but he bet 30,000 on the flop of . I raised to 90,000, he made it 220,000 and when I shoved he called. I had and he had . He hit the king on the turn. There was 1.5million in the pot."
An inglorious end for Watts, but he has the option of a single re-entry on the day, or even a late registration early on tomorrow's Day 2.

No more than a month ago the former professional footballer Anthony Gardner (of Tottenham Hotspur fame) secured his first live poker title, as he won the £100,000 guaranteed DTD200 right here at Dusk Till Dawn, Nottingham. He's looking to secure yet another scalp at this partypoker Live Millions Main Event, but he needed a very lucky king on the river to keep his dreams of an encore intact.
On a flop Gardner bet 65,000, opponent Karol Radomski made it 165,000 to go before Gardner moved all-in for around 400,000. Radomski instantly called with , and they were a mile or two ahead of Gardner's . The turn changed nothing, but just as Gardner got up from his seat, the dealer burned and turned the to complete the board.
Gardner looked utterly disgusted with himself but did sink back into his seat as the pot was pushed towards him.
