29 Players Remain in the Largest-Ever Online Poker Tournament

In December 2017, partypoker announced it would be bringing back the partypoker MILLIONS Online for a second year. The event has been hyped up for a full year with partypoker guaranteeing a record-breaking $20 million prize pool.

The lofty guarantee already guaranteed that this event would feature the largest prize pool in online poker history. The guarantee was smashed with the five opening flights on Nov. 25 to Dec. 4 attracting a massive field of 4,367 entrants to generate a mouth-watering $21,385,000 prize pool.

Day 2 began with 687 hopefuls left in the field with 500 players guaranteed a payout of at least $10,918. Barring any deals, at least four players will win a seven-figure haul with the winner slated to bring home a huge $2,729,376 first-place prize.

After the scheduled 18 levels of play on Day 2 on Dec. 4, the field was further trimmed down to 29 players with Mexico's "wheatforsheep" leading the way with 566,295,284 in chips followed by Malta's "j2805667" with 336,914,608 in chips.
