With the opening event and high rollers now completed, it is time to shift the focus to the partypoker MILLIONS North America $5,300 Main Event. Day 1B is slated to get underway at 12:00 PM local time at the Playground Poker Club in Montreal, Canada. This event will be host to the largest guaranteed prizepool that poker has ever seen in Canada, with at least $10,000,000 up for grabs.
Not only are there five Day 1s being held during this series, players have been given the opportunity to satellite into the main event for nearly a year now. For those that live on the other side of the Country, one option was to play Day 1 and 2 at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino in Calgary, Alberta last week. A total of six players moved on from Calgary and will show up on Day 3 with their bagged chips. All of these entries will help guarantee that the top three places will each be crowned a millionaire.
As for today, players will begin with an even 1,000,000 chips with the blinds starting at 5,000/10,000 and a 5,000 button ante. After the first level, the button ante will be equal to that of the big blind. The blinds will be 60-minutes in length with a 15-minute break after every two levels. A total of eight levels will be played on each of the day 1s.
Late registration will remain open throughout all of the Day 1s and into Day 2. It will officially be closed after level 12 on each of the Day 2s. Players will be allowed one re-entry on each Day 1, as well as each Day 2. That means, if you are unlucky, the maximum number of entries could add up to 12. Players may also bag multiple stacks on Day 1 and play both of the Day 2s. Should they bag multiple stacks on Day 2, only the best stack will be moved forward to Day 3.
