Another two chances remain for poker enthusiasts from near and far to join the flights of the 2021 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS North Cyprus $5,300 Main Event.

So far, the crown jewel of the series has attracted 486 entries of which 214 players advanced to Day 2. Those unhappy with their stack sizes accumulated can join the fray once more as only the best stack will be carried forward. Becoming the new chip leader will be a tall task to achieve as Killian Desnos (796,500) and Ali Shaerzadeh (699,500) have established massive stacks in the first two starting days.
