Welcome to Day 1A of the 2019 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Main Event
Welcome back to the 2019 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS North America, and the Playground Poker Club in Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada, for Day 1A of the CA$10,300 Main Event that features a CA$5,000,000 guarantee.
In 2018, this event featured a CA$5,300 buy-in and a CA$10,000,000 guarantee that attracted a total of 1,954-entrants that saw 251-players finish-in-the money. As the final table of eight approached, the likes of Marc-Andre Ladouceur (20th), Will Failla (17th), James Gilbert (16th), Joe Cheong (11th), and Daniel Strelitz (10th) all fell short of the final table.
With a talented final eight in play, seven of those players would all collect the biggest payout of their career, and once multiple WPT Champions Club member Tony Ruberto was eliminated in third-place, heads-up play would be down to Taylor Black and Darryll Fish. The two would battle back for several hours before Fish committed on the flop holding 
against Black's 
for an overpair as the final board ran out 
and Black was crowned the 2018 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Main Event Champion and recipient of the CA$1,400,000 first-place prize.
