The 2022 PartyPoker MILLIONS Online Main Event<\/strong> has reached its final table, and what a final table it is. Some 763 entrants created a guarantee-busting $2,289,000 prize pool and a first-place prize weighing in at $391,731. Right now, it is the United Kingdom-based Norwegian superstar that is Preben Stokkan<\/strong><\/a> that is in pole position going into the final table, which shuffles up and deals at 20:05 BST on September 27.<\/p>\n

Day 2 saw 116 PartyPoker players return to the virtual felt, each having locked up at least $6,357 for their efforts. Top-tier professionals including Vlad Darie<\/strong>, Pascal Lefrancois<\/strong><\/a>, our very own Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a> and Jaime Staples<\/strong><\/a>, 2021 MILLIONS Online champion Endrit Geci<\/strong><\/a>, Fabian Quoss<\/strong>, and Diego Ventura<\/strong><\/a> all cashed but failed the reach the final table<\/p>\n

Stokkan goes into the final table, which you can watch via our amazing Twitch channel<\/strong><\/a>, holding a commanding chip lead. He returns to the fray armed with a war chest of 224,613,105 chips, or more than 180 big blinds; that is how incredible the blind structure is in MILLIONS Online events.<\/p>\n

Malta’s Taco De Goede<\/strong> is Stokkan’s closest rival, although he has more than 100 million fewer chips than the current leader. De Goede, whose namesake Pim De Goede<\/strong><\/a> chopped the 2018 MILLIONS Online Main Event, sits down with 121,436,502 chips.<\/p>\n

\"Ole

Ole Schemion has reached yet another final table<\/p><\/div>\n

Only two other finalists continue their quest for MILLIONS Online glory with more than 100 million chips in their stacks. The legendary Ole Schemion<\/strong> (117,511,166) is one of them, with Yannick Schumacher<\/strong> (115,808,985) being the other. Do not write off the chances of either of those two stars.<\/p>\n

There’s quite the gap between Schumacher in fourth place and Jans Arends<\/strong>, who occupies fifth place. Arends topped the Day 1D chip counts<\/a> and built on that early success to end Day 2 with 50,297,493 chips in his stack.<\/p>\n

Lars Kamphues<\/strong> (44,639,748) and Alexandre Raymond<\/strong> (40,823,168) are the next two shortest stacks. Raymond deserves a round of applause because he is not only seventh in chips at this final table but also second in chips with 24 players remaining in the $320 buy-in MILLIONS Online Mini Main Event!<\/p>\n

Eighth place is where you find the Spanish superstar Adrian Mateos<\/strong> (25,336,571), with Finland’s Eelis Parssinen<\/strong> (22,533,262) being the shortest stack, albeit with almost 19 big blinds at his disposal.<\/p>\n
