The winner of the Super High Roller, Christopher Kruk, just doubled up on Michael Sklenicka who was the leader starting the day and all the way through the first two levels. James Nixon opened to 150K before the flop, Khaly Dang called, Sklenicka raised to 725K and that’s when Kruk went all-in for 1.25M. Nixon and Dang folded, but Sklenick called. The turn was good to Kruk and the river made his hand even better.

A huge hand was played, which led to Darren Elias’s elimination. Before the flop, there was a 140K raise and 4 players called. On the flop, Elias hits top two, so he bets 340K. Everybody folds except for Ubaid Habib who goes all-in. Elias calls to see that Habib has flopped a straight. The turn and river didn’t help Elias much and Habib had him covered. Habib has now just a little under 14M in chips and might be the new leader.

With the close of Day 2B registration – which came with the end of the break after level 12 – there are no more opportunities left for new player to join or eliminated players to re-join the tournament. From here to the end, the MILLIONS Main Event is a freezeout event!
Here is a breakdown of the total number of entries in the tournament:
This adds up to 1,954 entries – just a little over 2% shy of the guaranteed prize pool. Final prize pool information will be made available as soon as it’s available.
The late registration and re-entry period has closed on Day 2B of the Main Event.
The re-entries and buy-ins continued at a hectic pace all the way until the last minute of the break following level 12, driven by the popularity of the flip’n go’s. When the players returned to their seats, 587 entries were in the books for the day, and 264 players remained in contention. There are over 1 billion chips in play so there are sure to be some huge stacks moving forward to Day 3. Our current chip leader, Antonio Esfandiari, is playing more than three times the current chip average, but there are many players with 8-figure stacks so his lead is far from safe.
After 4 levels of play, the late registration period is now closed. We will have the final numbers very soon and we’ll post them as soon as they’re out. Meanwhile, here is a list of our leaders with eight figure stacks :
| First name | Prénom | Last name | Nom | Stack | Tapis |
|---|---|---|
| Antonio | Esfandiari | 12,800,000 |
| Michael | Sklenicka | 11,400,000 |
| Pablo | Mariz | 11,050,000 |
| Dean | Murphy | 10,750,000 |
