Although they missed out on the lead, they have put themselves in a great position to put together a deep run in online poker’s richest single tournament.

Filatov Flying High

If you look at the current top 10 chip counts, you’ll notice a member of Team partypoker is on there. Anatoly “NL_Profit” Filatov has been in incredible form this year and his purple patch is showing no signs of ending any time soon. Filatov bagged up 14,616,878 chips at the close of play, enough for sixth-place on the overnight leaderboard.

Two of Filatov’s Team partypoker teammates also punched their Day 2 tickets at the first attempt. Isaac “Ike_Haxton” Haxton (7,918,252) and Joni “JJouhki” Jouhkimainen (2,952,633) both made it through the shark-infested field.

Roberto “R_Romanello” Romanello, Jason “Jason_Koon” Koon, Kristen “Krissyb24” Bicknell, Dzmitry “Dzmitry_Urbanov” Urbanovich, Patrick “Patrick_Leonard” Leonard, and Philipp “Phil_Gruissem” Gruissem all busted on Day 1A. As did Joao “XjoaosimaoX” Simao, Sam “SamTrickett” Trickett, Ludovic “Gr4vyBo4t” Geilich, Travis “DramaticDegen” Darroch, Richard “RichyDubini” Dubini, Nikita “fish2013” Bodyakovskiy and Jaime “jaimestaples” Staples. The need to fire another bullet if they want to become the 2019 MILLION Online champion.
