Welcome to Day 1b of the 2021 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS North Cyprus $5,300 Main Event
After a very successful first starting day with 281 entries in the flagship $5,300 Main Event, the crown jewel of the 2021 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS North Cyprus festival has its eyes set on smashing the $3 million guarantee. As a matter of fact, it may already be surpassed on Day 1b which is slated to kick off at 12 pm local time in the conference centre of the five-star Merit Crystal Cove Hotel Casino & Spa in Girne, North Cyprus.
Nine levels of 60 minutes each are scheduled for today and all participants receive 100,000 in chips with the action kicking off at blinds of 300-600 and a big blind ante of 600. There will be a short break every two levels and Day 1b will conclude at approximately 9.30 pm local time, giving all participants enough time to take advantage of the free buffet at Merit thereafter.

| 9 | 1,200 | 2,500 | 2,500 |
French online casino games streamer Killian Desnos holds the lead so far and topping his stack of 796,500 may be quite a challenge to say the least. Poker enthusiasts from near and far will certainly do so during the return to major international live poker events in Europe.
The High Roller action at Merit has also concluded for now as the $10,500 High Roller and $25,500 Super High Roller both played down to a winner tonight. All results from those will be published soon in a separate update. Poker fans can also look forward to more live stream action as the $5,300 Main Event will be covered as of Day 2 on Saturday, September 25 until the conclusion two days later.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be there to provide as many key hands as possible en route to crowning a champion in the first partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Main Event in more than one and a half years.
