After eight levels of play, a busy Day 1c of the 2018 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS UK Main Event has come to an end. There was no lack of action on the tables as British pros, international poker stars, and the many qualifiers took their seats to battle the rest of the field to make it through to Day 2.

At the end of Level 8, the tournament clock showed that there were 576 entries in total of which 360 managed to find a bag to tag. Taking the chip lead is Alexandre Gomes with 6,120,000 in chips. Trailing him in second place is Christopher Vernon with 5,325,000 and and closing the podium is Thomas MacDonald with 5,265,000. Two more players who managed to bag over the 5 million mark are Richard Hoadley (5,250,000), and Tom Winstone.
