The split dinner break enters the second phase, as the vast majority of tables in the main room have been sent into their 75-minute dinner break. Only five tables have seen their players return to the action for level 33 and the Marquee room is also back now as well.
2017 partypokerLIVE Millions Dusk Till Dawn
Local player Michael Skeldon has been on an absolute tear today, converting his stack of 2.2 million to more than 9 million during the first four levels of play.
Skeldon crossed the 9 million mark in the very last hand before his one-hour dinner break. Skeldon bet 235,000 into an already healthy pot on a flop, and Ema Zajmovic made the call. She wouldn't quite commit the remaining 900,000 in her stack when she was put to the test on the turn, and Skeldon dragged the pot.

Mortensen checked again and Urbanovich continued for another 235,000. Mortensen then check-raised to 580,000 and Urbanovich folded. The Pole then got into a button clicking war with Jack Salter and forced a fold to regain some chips.
One table over, Jonathan Wong raised to 95,000 and picked up no less than three callers in the hijack, cutoff and big blind. The flop was checked to Wong and his bet of 155,000 claimed the pot without resistance.

Katie Swift has taken the chip lead in the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Main Event, and in thrilling fashion.
Swift got all of Timothy Harold's chips just after returning from the dinner break in the marquee here at Dusk Till Dawn on Day 2 and it was a suckout. The two players had history and went to a flop of with Harold having opened to 85,000 pre-flop, been raised to 210,000 by Swift and calling. Post-flop, the betting action went even bigger, with Swift checked to by Harold. She bet 280,000 and Harold raised to 775,000. Swift shoved for around five million chips and Harold called for marginally less.
Katie Swift:
Timothy Harold:
The turn card was a club, opening the possibility of a flush, and that four-flush came in on the river to see Harold busted and Swift catapulted into the lead with her hands physically shaking.
"I thought I was out of the door," Swift told us afterwards while stacking up the biggest chipstack across both cardrooms and the Day 2 field.

Players in the marquee have been back from dinner break for half an hour, and with tummies full of food everyone now seems to be hungry for chips.
Neil Farrell got in four-bet shove against to put himself up to 1,9 million chips, while Igor Kurganov took down a massive one against Kristen Bicknell. Bicknell bet out 225,000 on a board of , Kurganov made swiftly made it 1,200,000 and Bicknell made the call. Kurganov showed for the flush, which made Bicknell shake her head in disbelief and muck her cards.
On the next table over Andreas Hogh of Denmark was sent packing after an unfortunate turn. Daniel Wilson made it 90,000 from middle position, Hogh raised it up to 225,000 from the hijack and Wilson called.
The flop came . Wilson check-called 150,000 and instantly called when Hogh moved in for 790,000 on the turn. Wilson had made top set on the turn, leaving Hogh and his drawing to one of the two remaining Kings in the deck. The river was a blank, and Wilson apologized to the Dane before raking in the pot.
"I really wanted to fold the flop," he explained to his tablemates after Hogh had left the table.
"The turn - not so much."
