We're finally at the stage of Day 1 where players start pushing the percentages pre-flop instead of post-flop in an effort to chip up and put themselves in contention not just for a stack on Day 2, but a good one.
Joep Raemaekers moved all-in over the top of a standard opening bet to commit his entire 370,000 stack and he was re-raised all-in by the player in the next seat, Jonathan Concepcion.
Concepcion held while Raemaekers was drawing very thin with . The board came out to see Raemaekers eliminated and Concepcion win himself a playable stack.
Bas De Laat opened to 37,000 from the hijack position and only Marc Macdonnell in the big blind made the call. The flop of saw both men check and they did the same across the turn and river.
While Macdonnell's was no match for De Laat's , the Irishman still has the edge in the tournament, with over double De Laat's chips.
Jonty Willis and Ben Spragg have both been sat next to each other since Day 1 began here at 2pm local time in Nottingham at the world-famous Dusk Till Dawn Casino. They don't just have their Day 1 entry into the #partypokerLIVE MILLIONS Main Event in common, but also feature their poker streaming on Twitch, under the partypoker umbrella in Willis' case during his debut stream this week.
Spragg might have the edge online, but Willis is getting the better of his opponent at the live felt so far. Also doing very well is Richard Kellett, who entered the £6 million guaranteed Main Event here after busting the £10,300 High Roller late yesterday.
New Zealand's [Removed:17] has been rising in the chipcounts since the dinner break and that trend shows no signs of abating. He's just got the better of Britain's Alex Lindop. Lindop, himself a WSOP bracelet winner called the opening bet of 35,000 from Yan pre-flop, but on the raise to 120,000 from Manuel Bardon to 120,000 let it go, as did everyone else.
Bardon, despite winning that hand, has dropped to 1.6million from being the chip leader in the room before the break.

Manuel Bardon and [Removed:17] went heads-up to a flop of after Yan opened to 26,000 and Bardon called. Bardon switched the betting direction post-flop, however, and his bet of 60,000 got a snap-fold from Yan.
The table is a very difficult one, with Kitty Kuo creeping over starting stack for her direct buy-in of £5,300 and Robert Heidorn dropping slightly below it. Manuel Bardon is still table captain, however, and has over 2 million - the amount a lot of the players have declared they're aiming for as a stack to take through to Day 2.
There are some very difficult tables in the Day 1d field here in the #partypokerLIVE MILLIONS Main Event, but possibly none tougher than the one featuring Kenny Hallaert and Charlie Carrel.
Hallaert is currently leading the counts between the eight players, but it could be anyone's table and there are some huge personalities, leading to a lot of pre-flop action.
Play is now back underway following the second (largest half) dinner break in the room here at Dusk Till Dawn.
