With two hours of late registration still to go, the prize-pool of £6,000,000 is not just going to be reached, but with only 20 entries required, will surely be exceeded.
As well as direct buy-ins aplenty today, players have the option to re-enter once and once alone before the end of the first break, at approximately 3.50pm local time (GMT). It's hard to see how that won't be reached given the incredible top prize of £1million on offer.
Newest recruit and Norwegian poker legend Johnny Lodden is now a partypoker pro and clearly as excited as anyone to be in the cardroom here at Dusk Till Dawn to fight for the £1million top prize.
Calling an opening bet of 42,000 from middle position in the hijack, Lodden saw the player on the button raise to 135,000 and made the call. The flop of saw Lodden check to a c-bet of 150,000 and the Norwegian superstar made the fold. An early deficit for Lodden.
Laszlo Bujtas, Natalia Breviglieri and Jan-Peter Jachtmann are among the new entries in the Marque, while Ben Morrison started over there with an above average stack. According to the screens, there are already 519 entries remaining for today.
With a 15-minute delay Simon Trumper took the stage and thanked everyone for showing up; the players, the hard working dealers and staff at Dusk Till Dawn.
After reiterating those words and inviting everyone to enjoy a tournament designed 'for the players', partypokerLIVE President John Duthie uttered the four little words that get any a poker enthusiast excited: "Shuffle up and deal".
Simon Trumper has been making an announcement ahead of a slightly delayed start.
Of the 8,400 players who've taken part in the tournament, just 500 remain here on Day 2 and will battle to reach Day 3 and therefore the money (the crossover between Day 2 and Day 3 is effectively the bubble). The minimum cash has just been confirmed for £5,000 and the winner of course will earn £1,000,000, but there is also a very special prize on offer.
Every player who made it through to Day 2 at partypoker's Caribbean Adventure in Punta Cana around five months ago has a golden chip in front of them, the kind of card protector that kings would use if kings played poker. The last player to remain in the MILLIONS tournament with a golden chip in front of them will win an additional £100,000 wherever they finish. In the money, out of the money, final table, winner or bubble boy /girl, the six-figure sum will be theirs if they can outlast the 75 others who have the chip to their name.
A race to the money, a Battle Royale for the golden chip £100,000 last longer and a desperate fight for that million-pound top prize. The biggest tournament on in British poker history just caught fire!
Action is just a few minutes out here at Dusk Till Dawn Nottingham and thus the tournament area is still somewhat quiet. It's busy in the cashier, however, where plenty of players are registering or reentering as we speak. Among the household poker names back in the mix at this Day 2 are Kitty Kuo, Felipe Ramos, Johnny Lodden and Martin Kabrhel all receiving 1,000,000 chips to start the day.
British pro Jake Cody is also here, clearly expecting a great day of poker at this partypokerLIVE Millions Main Event.
