Welcome to Day 3 of the £5,300 partypokerLIVE MILLIONS Main Event
After months of preparation, Phase 1 and Day 1 and 2 flights across Europe, finally 253 players will assemble at Dusk Till Dawn Casino for the race to the finish of the historic partypokerLIVE MILLIONS Main Event.
Yesterday's action saw Jeremy Pantin bag up over 20.9 million chips to leap into a massive lead in the room, but there were so many more stories from the felt. There are 253 players returning to action today and they'll play another epic day of poker to try to reach the penultimate day.
As we found out during the last 24 hours, the £6m guarantee has been broken, the £1 million top prize now looming large ahead of the remaining players. That's not all on offer, though, with the £100,000 last longer for players with a golden chip in front of them possibly getting to the crucial point today.
Everyone in Day 3 is in the money with the £5,000 minimum cash. Payments go up and up towards that £1,000,000 top prize, and the bubble effectively burst overnight, so we expect play to be fast at first with so many short-stacks needing to make moves and give themselves a chance of a deep run instead of just an impressive cash in one of the biggest poker tournament Great Britain has ever seen.
Action gets under way from 1.00pm in Nottingham, and as usual, Pokernews will have live updates, the live stream from 3pm and plenty of features to go with your chipcounts. Settle in for what should be a rollercoaster ride to the business end of a phenomenal tournament.
