Johnny Lodden Finishes Among the Day 1A Chip Leaders in the Caribbean Poker Party MILLIONS Main Event
The first flight of the Caribbean Poker Party $5,300 MILLIONS Main Event has concluded. A total of 366 entrants tried their luck during Day 1A, but only 232 made it through all eight 60-minute levels, with Ronan Sweeney leading the way. He bagged up an impressive 5,856,000 to take through to Day 2, starting Wednesday the 22nd at noon local time.
Close on Sweeney's tail are Johnny Lodden (5,625,000), Carl Martel (5,115,000), Pavel Veksler (4,993,000) and, just behind him, Antoine Saout (4,922,000).
Alongside the chip leaders, other well-knowns advancing to Day 2 include 2017 WSOPE Main Event finalist Maria Ho (2,643,000), last year's partypoker Caribbean Main Event winner Niall Farrell (1,067,000), and partypoker sponsored pros Jan-Peter Jachtmann (1,948,000), Dzmitry Urbanovich (1,831,000), and Kristen Bicknell (404,000).
Not all the fan favorites survived the day, though, with partypoker sponsored pros Marcel Luske and Anatoly Filatov both falling short. Fortunately for them, another two flights are scheduled to start Tuesday: one at noon and another at 7 p.m.
Late registration and re-entry for this event will be available until the end of level 12, four hours into Day 2. We'll be with you the whole way to bring you updates throughout.
