[user339870]

Nível 15 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The $5,300 MILLIONS Main Event at the Caribbean Poker Party Festival drew a total of 1,061 entries and 521 took chips out of the bag at the start of Day 2, but only 222 are still in contention at the conclusion of play seven levels later. Leading the way is the defending champion Troy Quenneville with 19,065,000, and not far behind are Kevin Rivest (14,745,000) and Francois Billard (11,790,000). A total of 111 places will be paid with a mincash good for $10,000 and the eventual champion taking home $1,000,000.

Alongside the current chip leaders, quite a few familiar faces will return for Day 3 action. Among them are partypoker Chairman Mike Sexton (4,635,000), three-time bracelet winner Adrian Mateos (2,550,000), 2014 Main Event Champion Martin Jacobson (1,990,000), and partypoker Sponsored Pros Padraig Parkinson (7,915,000), Richard Dubini (7,255,000), Jan-Peter Jachtmann (2,755,000), Roberto Romanello (2,100,000), Johnny Lodden (1,970,000), and partypoker Ambassador Joao Simao with 4,965,000.

Unfortunately, not all the fan favorites who took to the felt for Day 2 action survived to the day's end. Among the fallen are 2013 Main Event Champion Ryan Riess, three-time bracelet winner Benny Glaser, Bryn Kenney, Mike Leah, Jonathan Little, Stefan Schillhabel, and partypoker Sponsored Pros Kristen Bicknell and Natalia Breviglieri.

Action is scheduled to resume at noon local time on Thursday for Day 3. Be sure to check back here for continuing coverage of the $5,300 Main Event and the remainder of the Caribbean Poker Party Festival, presented by the PokerNews Live Reporting team.

Jose The Hero

Nível 15 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

It's not often you stun an entire table into silence, especially when one of the players at said table is lively Brit Niall Farrell. Alas, Jose Reyes managed the seemingly insurmountable.

With around 4,000,000 in the middle and the board reading . Reyes' opponent moved in for 2,600,000, putting Reyes to what looked like an agonising decision. After taking a moment or two to think the hand through, Reyes eventually made the call.

His opponent turned over for queen high, standing up and passing his tournament receipt to the dealer. Reyes couldn't hide the smug expression as he revealed for bottom pair no kicker.

"Wow!" was about the only word anyone could manage, as Reyes dragged in a huge pot, bringing his stack up to eight figures.

After three flights of Day 1 action, the cards are ready to get in the air on Day 2 of the $5,300 MILLIONS Main Event at the 2017 Caribbean Poker Party Festival. There will be 521 players returning to the felt and one of the contenders at the top of the leaderboard is partypoker sponsored pro, Johnny Lodden.

The Norwegian poker pro bagged a top five chip stack with an impressive 5,625,000. Lodden might not be playing as much tournament poker as he once did, but he is always a recognizable face at these partypoker LIVE festivals. Not to mention Lodden also has over $2.7 million in live tournament earnings.

He will be contending with two-time WSOP Main Event final tablist, Antoine Saout, who will come in with 4,922,000. Daniel Dvoress (4,889,000), Stephen Chidwick (4,824,000) and partypoker sponsored pro, Richard Dubini (4,660,000), also have top-ten stacks to start the day.

The action is slated to resume at 12:00 P.M. local time with a total of 521 players returning from the three Day 1 flights. Late registration will remain open for another 4 levels. A whopping $5,000,000 prizepool is guaranteed for this event and the final numbers with payouts will be posted when they become available. The blind levels will be increased to 75 minutes today, starting at 10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 button ante. A total of seven levels are tap for today's schedule, at which point players will bag and tag to return on Day 3.

A winner is expected to be crowned by the end of Day 5 and the PokerNews live reporting team will be with you through it all.
