One of the interesting wrinkles in a tournament that employs the Phase 1 structure is that players who have not yet started the “real” event already have stacks in play. Therefore, tournament staff must perform a seating draw before each Day 1, just like you’d find in any tournament before Day 2.
The following table is the official seating draw for Day 1A of the partypoker Million North America. Each of the players listed below is a Phase 1 winner, and the stack size is the amount of chips they ended with during their successful Phase 1 tournament. In the case of online Phase 1 qualifiers, the stack size has been rounded up to the nearest 500 due to the minimum denomination chip in play to begin Day 1.
These stacks will be on the table (bagged) to begin Day 1 at 12:00pm tomorrow. Note that the tables seem relatively sparse – that is because Day 1 Buy-ins and Satellite winners will join the tournament in the normal way as they will be given a random seating ticket when they buy in to the event.
