Moshe Makes the Most Out of Day 1a With Huge Chip Lead
Day 1a of the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Grand Final Barcelona Finale is in the books. In total for Day 1a, there were 258 entries with 45 players through to Day 2, Sunday, April 15th. Taking the huge chip lead for Day 1a is Asi Moshe with 19,930,000 in chips.
Moshe was the clear chip leader as the second player at the top of the chip counts is Yury Kanunnikov with 13,740,000. In third place was Kfir Ivgi with 13,600,000 after doubling up through Christophe De Meulder.

Others that tried and failed include Marek Blasko, Sander van Wesemael, Said El Yousfi, Gerald Karlic, Dietrich Fast, Kalidou Sow, Kevin MacPhee, Jiri Horak, Robert Schiffbauer, Pierre Merlin, and Georgios Zisimopoulos.
The 45 remaining 1a players will come back on Sunday at noon local time. But first there are two more starting days tomorrow, Saturday, April 14th, to see who else will join them.
