![[user326915]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The partypoker LIVE MILLIONS festival at the Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham is unlike most other poker festivals, and not just because of the stunning guaranteed prize pool of £6m and £1m first-place payout for its flagship event, the £5,300 Main Event. Widely considered as the home of poker in the United Kingdom and one of the biggest cardrooms in Europe, the Dusk Till Dawn and online poker operator partypoker have created a unique hybrid between online and live poker.
Players have already qualified for the Main Event through a £500+50 Online Phase 1 on the partypoker platform, as well as via one of their live partners. This includes Dusk Till Dawn, but also other venues across Europe such as San Remo, Vienna and St. Vincent. All qualifiers then carry over their accumulated chips into a £5,300 Live Day 1 at the same venue, in which players can also buy in directly in order to receive 1,000,000 chips with an initial blind level of 2,500-5,000 and a running ante of 500.
Each Live Day 1 plays a total of ten hour-long levels, with the remaining players bagging up their chips into their respective Live Day 2. Registration remains open for another two levels into Day 2 until approximately 3.50 p.m. local time on Thursday, April 20th at Dusk Till Dawn. There have, however, already been qualifiers for Day 3 in St. Vincent, Vienna and San Remo, and those players will join the action at Dusk Till Dawn on Friday April 21st at 1pm local time when the entire remaining field plays to a finish across the weekend.
Here is the live Day 1 level structure:
| Level | Duration | Small Blind | Big Blind | Ante |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 60 | 2,500 | 5,000 | 500 |
| 21 | 60 | 3,000 | 6,000 | 600 |
| 22 | 60 | 4,000 | 8,000 | 800 |
| 23 | 60 | 5,000 | 10,000 | 1,000 |
| 24 | 60 | 6,000 | 12,000 | 1,000 |
| 25 | 60 | 8,000 | 16,000 | 1,500 |
| 26 | 60 | 10,000 | 20,000 | 2,000 |
| 27 | 60 | 12,000 | 24,000 | 2,500 |
| 28 | 60 | 15,000 | 30,000 | 3,000 |
| 29 | 60 | 20,000 | 40,000 | 4,000 |
There have already been two Live Day 1s at the Dusk Till Dawn and the PokerNews live reporting team picks up the action in today's Day 1d which begins at 2 pm local time as well as tomorrow's Day 1e, before providing updates until a champion and new millionaire is crowned this upcoming Sunday.
We'll have all the action from kick off as many big name players look set to join the ever-growing Day 1 field.
