The first of the 4 total Day 1 starting flights in the partypoker Million North America began at 9:00pm yesterday evening (April 23rd) and after 10 levels of play, 12 players remained who have qualified for Day 2. Day 2 will be held live here at Playground Poker Club on Sunday, May 7th at 12:00pm.
Brazilian player Norson Saho set the pace for Day 1, finishing the night with a huge stack of 6,394,000 in tournament chips. He was followed by Alexis Urli who booked 4,206,000 for Day 2 and Rami Hammoud with 3,357,000. Note that all stacks have been rounded up to the next 1,000 in chips – the smallest denomination chip that will be in play to begin Day 2.
The partypoker Million North America allows an entry and a re-entry per Day 1. Also, any player that played online Day 1A is allowed to play in Online Day 1B (April 30th) or Live Day 1A or Live Day 1B on May 5th and 6th. In the case of a player who qualifies for Day 2 multiple times, all of their qualifying stacks will be included in the Day 1 Combined results page. The tournament is best-stack-forward following Level 2 on Day 2 – final closing time for all re-entries – at which point each player will only have a single entry in the results lists that will be published. If a player qualified more than once and lost his chips in the first 2 levels, he may use his second biggest qualified stack as a re-entry.
You can view the combined results of all Day 1s in the tournament on the Day 1 Combined Results page.
