The 2019 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Europe attracted 504 entries for the €10,300 Main Event. There were 402 entries made in the King's Resort in Rozvadov, Czech Republic, but 102 entries didn't even set a foot in the casino before playing. Chip leader Aleks Dimitrov is one of those players. He managed to secure his spot in the money by surviving the Online Day 1+2 end ended with over 27 million chips.
Sam Grafton ended the day very close to that 27 million mark when he played the live version of Day 2. Grafton played the second half of the day on the PokerGO feature table and had a dominating performance at the tables. Kenny Hallaert was one of the other players that used the hand-for-hand phase to chip up. Hallaert ended the day near the top of the chip counts in fifth place with 18,050,000.
Other notable players that made it through to the money and Day 3 include Jozsef Liszkovics (22,075,000), Thomas Boivin (15,825,000), Charlie Carrel (14,375,000). Vojtech Ruzicka (14,325,000), Daniel Rezaei (13,680,000), Yake Wu (10,150,000), James Romero (5,625,000), Jack Sinclair (4,825,000), and Day 1b chip leader Freddy Deeb (4,550,000).
Bertrand Grospellier was the only partypoker Pro that made it to Day 3 by playing the live tournament in Rozvadov, but he will be joined on Day 3 by Dzmitry Urbanovich and Roberto Romanello. Both of them made it to Day 3 without having to be even close to the casino.
The PokerNews blog will be on a one-hour delay so there will be no spoilers regarding the PokerGO live stream. The tournament will kick off at noon local time and the first blog posts will be dripping in at 1 p.m. local time.
