Photographs from levels 5 and 6:

Someone we know has been with us for quite some time now. Can you guess who it is without looking at the caption?

If you said: ”That is undeniably the reigning world champion!”, then you were right! Scott Blumstein himself, the current holder of the mother of all crowns, is currently nursing a 2-million stack.

We are almost at the last break of the day, which will allow us to update the leaderboard.

Michael Blackmore flopped the nut straight. His looked pretty good on the flop, but one thing we know about straights, it’s that they can’t improve!

Jeffrey Cormier’s second best , however, only needed one of four outs to pass Blackmore. Sure enough, the fell on the turn, and both players ended up fully invested.

Cormier, on his second bullet today, managed to build a bit of a stack that way.

As we are getting closer to the third and last break of the day, we see some stacks growing. Antonio Esfandiari got involved in a big hand and scooped up his opponent’s entire stack. We didn’t get to the table on time to see all the action happen but we were able to see the showdown. William Givens was all-in with and Esfandiari made the call with . The eight on the board was enough to award him the pot.

In a growing field of players, on a far table, Helio Bandeira Neves Neto built a pot with Jeremie Pierre Sarda to about 700K on the flop. On the turn, Bandeira bet 280K, and Sarda, sitting on the button, made the call. Bandeira went all-in for a little over 500K on the river, sending Sarda to the tank. He thought for quite some time, and abandoned the 1.3M.

We are now entering level 6, and many more players have surpassed the 3-million-chip threshold. With so many players in the field – we just registered our 400th entry – it is not surprising to see some big stacks bumping into each other.

 

Christopher Kruk, the chip leader in Day 1C of the MILLIONS, got there by making a great call moments before the break. He called a 54K raise that came in after a limp. The limper called, and they went to the flop 3-way.

Kruk check raised Joshua Kay, bringing 100K to 220K. The initial limper folded, and Kay made the call. Kruk checked again on the turn, not caring about pressing his previous check raise. Kay thought he felt some weakness and went all-in for 811K. He might have been right, but Super High Roller champion Christopher Kruk sees it all. Great call.
