This afternoon’s Phase 1 tournament is now complete, and 26 players have bagged chips onto Day 1 of the partypoker Million North America from a starting field of 266 entries. The count was supposed to be 27 players, but there was a 3-way all-in during hand for hand play at the end of the day, and 2 players were eliminated, leaving just 26 stacks to be taken by players to Day 1.

Ryan Smith bagged the second biggest stack from this flight with 2,366,500, while Hugo Dumoulin rounds the top 3 with 1,838,500.
