The 2017 partypoker Millions Nottingham High Roller attracted 110 entries, which generated a prize pool of £1,067,000 for the top 11 finishers. The first day of play lasted for only 6 hours while the second day continued for more than 15 hours!
The fact is that Day 2 was so long and exhausting that the last remaining 4 players called it a day at 4.15 on Wednesday morning. Czech Republic poker pro Vojtech Ruzicka bagged up the chip lead.
Ruzicka, who finished 5th in the 2016 WSOP Main Event, will bring 4.1 million in chips (52 big blinds) to the final day of play and he will need to overcome Bartlomiej Machon (3 million), Tom Hall (1.9 million) and Chris Backhouse (1.7 million) if he wants to take home the £320,000 first-place prize!
As you can see below, Day 1 chip leaders Niall Farrell and Dominik Nitsche both missed out on a payday...

1. £320,000
