Welcome to Day 1e of the £5,300 partypokerLIVE MILLIONS Main Event
With 193 entries in Day 1d, the pioneering £6m guaranteed partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Main Event reaches another Day 1 with the opportunity for players to try to reach a Day 2 seat across ten levels of top class poker action.
With the £1million minimum top prize now looming large for players of all levels, today's raft of entrants will feature more direct buy-ins as big names continue to flock to the home of Robin Hood and Nottingham Forest in a bid to walk away with the biggest prize ever awarded in a live tournament on British soil.
Yesterday saw Neel Murthy top the chipcounts with an incredible 7,630,500, but he was followed by Koray Aldemir (5,373,000), Britain's Paul Siddle (5,321,000) and WSOP Main Event finalist Kenny Hallaert, who bagged up 4,907,500. Those are some very big Day 2 stacks to try and top for today's players, with Murthy the man to shoot for across the tournament itself.
Phase 1 players through last night include Qin Ling (1,977,000), Jake Quinsee (805,500) and Adrian Veghinas (1,279,500) but there are dozens through from online and with many big names expected to buy into the MILLLIONS Main Event on Friday, plenty of professionals and amateurs alike will surely pitch up today in an attempt to find an edge in what is increasing turning into one of the toughest fields in a £5,300 tournament.

With ten hour-long levels due to take place from 2pm local time to the close of play roughly 12.5 hours later, it will be a gruelling effort at the felt from any player lucky enough to make Day 2. But was winning a million pounds ever easy?

Runners Break The Tape

We have 309 entries up on the board and some terrific table draws. We'll bring you the highlights as we progress, but cards are finally in the air and 'Shuffle up and deal' has just been announced.
System Delay
Check that previous excited briefing. There has been an announcement by Tournament Director and poker legend Simon Trumper that a slight technical problem with the system has led to a delay.
Players have been asked to take to the tables in 15 minutes time, so we will kick off at 2.30pm local time.

Battles Everywhere
Nível 20
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Some of the match-ups at the partypokerLIVE MILLIONS Main Event tables are very intriguing .
Boris Becker will be hoping for plenty of aces against Ian Simpson, who will be serving up his usual brand of high quality professional poker. Who will pass the other? We look forward to finding out.
Kelly Saxby and partypoker ambassador Natalia Breviglieri do battle in the company of High Roller crusher Steve O'Dwyer, while Tony Cascarino and James Akenhead have been reunited as table neighbours.
Finally, Niall 'Firaldo' Farrell takes on Keith Cummins, who enters the tournament on the back of his best year in poker since his career began.
There are going to be fireworks!

Dunst Getting It Done
Nível 20
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
partypoker ambassador Tony Dunst rarely dips below his starting stack early and true to trend, he's started as he means to go on, by winning chips.
We joined Dunst's latest hand as he was making another winning bet. On a board showing 
he bet 75,000 into 110,000 and got two layers to fold. That puts him above 1.1 million and might well make him feel omnipotent. Stay tuned to the live reporting from partypokerLIVE MILLIONS Main Event to find out why that might be relevant when talking to Tony in an interview with the traveling pro later on this afternoon.

Salter Talked Into the Call
Nível 20
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Jack Salter faced a bet of 75,000 on a board of 
, and gave it a good long thought before engaging in a bit of conversation with opponent Kevin Houghton.
"I've got a full house", Salter proclaimed.
"Like a pair of fives", Houghton asked.
"Better, I've got jacks", Salter replied, looking like a man who was ready to make the fold.
Whether the British pro picked something up on Houghton remains unknown, but ultimately he threw in the call, getting the obligatory good call-nod from Houghton.
"I've got a flush", Houghton said, but never revealed his hand as Salter instantly tabled 
for a full house. Salter is off to a good start at this day 1E of partypokerLIVE Millions Main Event.

Wheeler and Kassouf
Nível 20
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Whether Jason Wheeler is a fan of Will Kassouf's is a matter of opinion and e're nothing but impartial. However, we'd be willing to bet a hefty amount that the two didn't exchange Valentine's Day cards.
During a hand Kassouf wasn't even involved in, he was clearly still the focus of Wheeler's table-talk, with Kassouf sat idling on his mobile phone.
"You're too busy with your fans these days." said Wheeler. "You were famous for, what, a week? You've taken a month."
"It's dealing with fans. They made me this t-shirt." quipped back Kassouf, who is wearing a shirt emblazoned with his catchphrase. Yes, that one.
"It's a scary thought that there are actually fanboys out there supporting you, Will."
"We've got a game now!" exalted Kassouf to nobody in particular.
Wheeler played out the hand. A three-bet to 52,000 pre-flop, and a c-bet post-flop to 62,000 and he had taken a pot, putting himself marginally ahead of a grinning.
"Welcome to the game." said a stony-faced Wheeler.
