Last night on partypoker was the second and final Online starting flight in the partypoker Million North America. This flight attracted a total of 15 entries and by the end, 5 players had managed to book a stack into Day 2 of the event, which is set to begin on May 7th at Playground Poker Club.
The leader at the end of the flight was Philip_Ward, known in real life as Chun Ho “Harry” Law, who managed to virtually bag 3,917,000 in chips (rounded up to reflect the minimum chip denomination to start Day 2). The other 4 Day 2 qualifiers are all enormously successful players, including GPI #2 David Peters and online legend TJ Ulmer.
So the stage is now set for the event to move to Playground Poker Club. Live Day 1A and 1B will be held on May 5th and 6th respectively, and between now and then there are a series of Phase 1 tournaments and Live Satellites that will give players a ton of chances to qualify for the $5 Million guaranteed tournament for a much smaller buy-in – not to mention the final series of 5 online satellites, with 10 seats guaranteed daily from tonight until Friday.
Full results so far are available under the “Results” tab here on the Playground Poker Live Events Blog, and you can track Phase 1 entries by following the button on the top right corner of this page.
