As is customary at Playground Poker Club at the start of a partypoker Main Event, Mike Sexton, the voice and face of partypoker, made an announcement on the microphone.
This time, he was joined by Tony Dunst, famous poker player and spokesperson for partypoker. Sexton said a few kind words on the quality of the venue, and talked a little bit about the Event, before announcing the much expected words: ”Shuffle up and deal!”
Once these words were pronounced, the clock started ticking and the partypoker Million North America was underway! 215 players started on time, including 89 Phase 1 stacks, and more will join throughout the day. 146 more Phase 1 stacks are on the shelves and will come into play tomorrow, on Day 1B.
Good luck all!
