Players are now enjoying a much deserved dinner break in the partypoker Million North America Event. A warm buffet is displayed near the bar in the tournament hall, and our players are happily digging in.
Registration is now closed for Day 1A, and along with the 90 Phase 1 stacks that were placed on the tables before the start, 282 players registered today, for a total of 372 entries in this first of 2 flights.
During the dinner break, we updated the leaderboard, and found that recent changes allowed a transition in the leadership. Sylvain Siebert lost about 2M in the third stint, now working with just a little over 3M. The pole position now belongs to Srinivas Gottiparthi, who is sitting at the ”action table” of the Event (along with Guillaume Nolet and Karim Abdelhamid), where 3 of the top 10 stacks are going at it. It is one of the next tables to break, so these riches will soon be sprinkled over the hall.
Philippe D’Auteuil (title picture) has climbed to the second spot. He is seen in the photo below, collecting the fruits of one of his many wins.
The following table lists the top of the leaderboard, and is followed by some of their photos:
