Jetten was cruising along towards the middle of the pack with the end of Day 1B looming. He then clashed with Team partypoker\u2019s Mikita Badziakouski<\/strong><\/a> in a monster-sized pot to claim the chip lead.<\/p>\n

Jetten min-raised to 380,000 from under the gun, Robert White called in late position before Badziakouski three-bet from the big blind. Jetten put in another raise, which folded out White, but Badziakouski called. A flop saw Badziakouski check. Jetten bet 1,428,000, Badziakouski check-raised to 3,500,000 before snap-calling when Jetten jammed for 8,723,539. Jetten flipped over and Badziakouski . Both the turn and river were deuces and Jetten\u2019s stack swelled to more than 24.5 million chips.<\/p>\n

Badziakouski managed to keep his composure and progressed to Day 2 with a 5,716,808 stack. His fellow orange diamond-sporting teammate Kristen Bicknell<\/strong> also made it through shark-infested Day 1B field, finishing with 2,461,804 chips.<\/p>\n

Big Names Punch Their Day 2 Tickets<\/h2>\n

Scores of big names navigated their way through the tough Day 1B field and are now within touching distance of the $892,274 top prize.<\/p>\n

Aleksei Barkov<\/strong> ended his flight second in chips with an 18,158,570 stack, while New Zealand\u2019s Sosia Jiang<\/strong><\/a> bagged up 14,323,488 chips and had the biggest stack of any of the ladies competing in the MILLIONS Main Event.<\/p>\n

Christian Jeppsson<\/strong><\/a> (13,652,912), Brock Wilson<\/strong> (12,256,520), Stephen Chidwick<\/strong> (9,300,614), Jake Schindler<\/strong> (8,979,836), Upeshka Da Silva<\/strong> (7,415,731), Joseph Cheong<\/strong> (7,039,184), Chance Kornuth<\/strong> (6,784,541), Dylan Linde<\/strong> (6,573,497), Adam Owen<\/strong> (6,354,889), Adrian Mateos<\/strong><\/a> (5,276,177), Juha Helppi<\/strong> (4,424,478), and Luke Reeves<\/strong> (2,992,378) are just a selection of the stellar names to look out for on Day 2.<\/p>\n

The End Of The Road<\/h2>\n

It wasn\u2019t the best of flights for the Team partypoker roster. Matthew Staples<\/strong> stone-cold bubbled the $530 Mega Sat but bought into the Main Event anyway. Things didn\u2019t go to plan and Staples won\u2019t be joining his brother Jamie on Day 2.<\/p>\n

John Duthie<\/strong><\/a>, Joao Simao<\/strong><\/a>, Isaac Haxton<\/strong><\/a>, Joni Jouhkimainen<\/strong><\/a>, and Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a> all fell by the wayside on Day 1B. Leonard crashed out in 80th place with 74 players progressing.<\/p>\n

Neutral fans hoped Mary Pudmoreff<\/strong> would make it through. Pudmoreff won her $5,300 seat for free thanks to Kristen Bicknell\u2019s Twitter promotion. Pudmoreff came unstuck with on an board when Dean Arsenie<\/strong> held .<\/p>\n

Others who are now focussing on the side events include Michael Chi Zhang<\/strong>, David Peters<\/strong>, Tom Middleton<\/strong>, Dominik Nitsche<\/strong>, Sam Grafton<\/strong>, Thomas Muehloecker<\/strong>, reigning champion Benjamin Chalot<\/strong><\/a>, and Roberto Romanello<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Day 2 Players Are In The Money<\/h2>\n

Day 2 commences at 19:05 GMT on March 1 and sees 160 players return to the partypoker virtual felt. Day 1A chip leader Daniel Dvoress<\/strong> is the man to catch having turned his one-million chip starting stack into 30,582,133.<\/p>\n

All 160 returning players are in the money and have locked up $10,695 for their efforts. Ten levels will be played on Day 2, which will see the field whittled even further. Those blinds are 30-minutes long so even the shorter stacks have some wiggle room.<\/p>\n

We will have a better idea of who will become the MILLIONS Online Main Event champion by the time the curtain comes down on Day 2 proceedings. Who do you think will be leading at the close of play?<\/p>\n
