Day 1D is now into level 2 of the day, and the number of entries has continued it’s steady growth. A total of 463 entries have now taken place in this 4th flight, including 8 re-entries. A short break is scheduled to take place after level 2, during which we will bring the first leaderboard of the flight.

Photographs from level 1:

Only half a level has gone by so far in Day 1D, but with time starting to run out for players to build a stack into Day 2 of the MILLIONS North America Main Event, a few players have come out swinging right from the start.

Sylvain Siebert is one of them, and he was recently eliminated after trying to pass a bluff on his opponents. Nick Shkolnik opened the action to 25,000 from the cutoff position, and was followed by Marcello Rosa on the button before Sylvain 3-bet to 105,000 from the small blind. Both opponents called and they were 3 to the flop.

With showing, Sylvain moved all-in first to act for a little over 500,000, and his bet was looked up by Nick before Marcello threw his cards into the muck.

Sylvain tabled high, and was trailing the of Nick. The turn and river brought no change to the hand, and Sylvain took a walk to the cage and registered another bullet into the flight.

Just got to the @PlaygroundPoker club for Day 1D of the @partypokerlive Millions North America. Table 43 is where I start which is convenient since it’s right next to Final Table which is where I plan to be in a few days:)
