MILLONS Online Day 1b: nipa3p3 tops the counts

Day 1b of the $5 million guaranteed partypoker MILLIONS Online saw 233 players take to the virtual felt and exchange $5,300 for one million chips and a shot at a guaranteed $1 million first-place prize.

By the time the 16th level was complete, only 37 of those 233 starters had chips in front of them and these players progress to Day 2, which shuffles up and deals at 20:40 GMT (21:40 CET) on December 5.

Several members of Team partypoker bought in on Day 1b, including Jan-Peter Jachtmann, Natalia Breviglieri, Fedor Holz, Patrick Leonard, Marcel Luske, and Dzmitry Urbanovich. Unfortunately for our pros and ambassadors, none of them managed to make it through to Day 2. If any of our players are to win the MILLIONS Online event, they need to take another bite of the cherry in today’s Day 1c (14:00 GMT/15:00 CET) or Day 1d (17:30 GMT/18:30 CET).

One player who is safely through to Day 2 is “nipa3p3” who ended the night with 13,360,488 chips. The professional grinder is no stranger to big events at partypoker because he won the $5,200 Championship Event Final Phase at the latest Powerfest for a cool $283,500.

Five other players ended the night with more than 10 million chips. They were “pizaaaaaaaa” (13,230,884), “Spacey1891” (12,599,060), “triathlon4” (11,140,085), “ginger_master” (11,097,421) and “barrm111” (10,750,745).
