Players in Day 1B of the partypoker Million North America enjoyed a buffet offered by the house during their 45-minute dinner break, and have now returned to the felts to continue their day. The flight will end once 4 more levels have been completed, and the surviving players will then bag and tag their chips onto Day 2, which takes place tomorrow at 12pm.

Late registration is now closed for today, and 589 entries took place in this second and final flight (123 Phase 1 entries, 408 entries and 58 re-entries). Players will be allowed to buy-in or re-enter during the first 2 levels of play tomorrow, with the binds rolling back to level 7 at the restart.

Alexandre Blanc leads the Day 1B field at the dinner break with a stack of 4,255,000 after starting the day with 2,552,000, carried over from a Phase 1. Top counts entering level 7 are found in the table below.

The partypoker Million North America Day 1b is now underway after a brief announcement from poker ambassador Mike Sexton, and so far the board indicates that there are 378 players at their seats.

The late registration period will remain open through until the end of the dinner break, giving players up until 7:15pm to late-reg into this $5,000,000 guaranteed event. Additionally, if any player is unfortunate to be eliminated during the first 6 levels of play, they are permitted one re-entry into the event.

The winner of this event is set to take home at least $1,000,000! Will it be you?
