Welcome to Day 4 of the £5,300 partypokerLIVE Millions Main Event
After four days of heated poker action at the Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham, only 45 players remain in the hunt for the winner of the 2017 partypokerLIVE Millions Main Event.
Yesterday's action saw Austrian Moritz Dietrich surge to the top of the leaderboard as he bagged up 78,115,000 chips, but he is closely trailed by the £550 Phase 1 Online qualifier Katie Swift. Swift managed to end the night in 74,040,000 and will be in good shape to make a deep run for the title in one of the biggest live tournaments the UK has ever seen.
The plan for today is to play down to a final table, which shouldn't be more than eight levels of play. With the hectic pace of eliminations yesterday, the remaining players are expected to settle in for the night no later than midnight.
