“Very excited about Day 2. Everyone can still join! Let’s make history!”

partypoker managing director, Tom Waters said: “We are delighted with the player numbers that participated in Day 1A of MILLIONS Online and in particular the number of satellite qualifiers that won themselves a seat. The Mega Satellites alone generated 251 $5.3k seats on Sunday and we are proud to have hosted our richest ever day in terms of satellite seats awarded.

“There is still a long way to go before we hit the $20 million guarantee and despite Sunday’s excellent start we still need almost 2,500 runners across the remaining Day 1s.

“There are many Mega Satellites running between now and the final Day 1, and so there are still plenty of chances for players to win their seat into this historic tournament.”
