Day 1b of the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS UK Main Event Set to be a Busier One, Starting at Noon
Day 1b of the 2018 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS UK Main Event will kick off at noon local time here in the Dusk Till Dawn Poker & Casino building and it’s expected to be busier than yesterday. Day 1a attracted 38 entries of which 18 made it through to Day 2. Currently in the chip lead with 4,830,000 is Serkan Ersoy from Turkey.
With 60 seats won in the two satellites yesterday, most of them are probably going to enter the field today. But for the ones that haven’t won a seat online or here in DTD yet, don’t worry, there are a few more coming up!
