Day 1b of the Super MILLION$ Main Event Kicks Off at 6 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. EST) at GGPoker
Welcome to the Day 1a coverage of the $10,300 Super MILLION$ Main Event at GGPoker starting at 6 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. EST) as part of the GGPoker Super MILLION$ Week.
The GGPoker Super MILLION$ Week features a huge $30 million in guaranteed prizes across 31 events.
GGPoker really stepped it up a notch with the festival's crown jewel in the Super MILLION$ Main Event. This event boasts a $10,300 buy-in along with a massive $10 million guarantee for double the $5 million guarantee this event featured as part of High Rollers Week in November.
What's even more, is that it seems likely that the $10 million guarantee is merely a placeholder as it is on pace to blow well past this figure with 307 entrants already getting into the action on Sunday's Day 1a and the tournament needing 1,000 entrants to meet the guarantee.
Italy's Luigi "shadinho94" Shehadeh, playing at GGPoker under a Tunisian flag, easily finished on top of the leaderboard of the 41 Day 1a survivors after parlaying his 100,000 opening stack more than 27-fold into a 2,705,791 in chips.
Others were less than lucky than Shehadeh and will have to try again in order to advance to Day 2 including GGPoker Ambassadors Fedor Holz and Anatoly Filatov.
Super MILLION$ Main Event Structure
The Super MILLION$ Main Event boasts four opening flights on Feb. 28, March 2, March 6, and March 7. The tournament will be played eight-handed throughout Day 1 with the eventual final table slated as a nine-max affair.
Players will begin the action with a 100,000 starting stack, good for 200 big blinds to begin the day. Blind levels will increase slowly at every 20-minutes and there will be a six-minute break every 55-minutes past the hour.
Players will have plenty of chances to build a monster stack as they can re-enter an unlimited amount of times during the long 16-level late-registration window during each of the four opening flights. Each opening flight will end after 22 blind levels are in the books.
Surviving opening flight players will then battle it out on Day 2 on Monday, March 8 at 6 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. EST) and conclude when just nine players remain. Randy "nanonoko" Lew and Kevin "RotterdaM" van der Kooi will host a live stream of the final table when it kicks off the following day at 6 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. EST) at the GGPoker YouTube channel.
This dynamic duo will also be commentating on the final table of another big event in the $2.5 million guaranteed Event #6: $25,500 Super High Roller on March 2 at 6 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. EST).
The PokerNews live reporting team will be bringing all of the action as the day unfolds, so stay tuned starting at 6 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. EST)!
