The partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Super High Roller Series in Sochi, Russia has now seen Day 1 of Event #6: $100,000 No-Limit Hold’em come to an end after 13 levels of play. The first $100,000 event of the series drew a respectable 42 players by the end of late registration and by the end of the night only nine players were left. Michael Addamo bagged the lead with his 1,595,000 and will be headed into the final day atop the food chain.
Michael Addamo caught a string of hands during the midst of the day that sent Bryn Kenney and Juan Pardo Dominguez home, propelling him to the seven-figure club, where he say alone at the time. Addamo took his big stack, elected to bully around and paid the price a few times. He dropped back down under the average but showed great resilience en route to bagging the lead for the night despite a few hiccups along the way.
Closest behind Addamo on the leaderboard is Adrian Mateos with a stack of 1,370,000. Mateos is one of the best in the world, boasting over $20 million in live career earnings and is ranked first on the Spain all-time money list. Look for him to attempt and add another partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Super High Roller title to his resume tomorrow.
Rounding out the top three is Austria’s Matthias Eibinger with a healthy stack of 970,000. Eibinger shot up about two years ago from a unknow to being considered one of the best in the world. The 27-year-old pro can eclipse the $10 million mark in career earnings with a top-two finish tomorrow, an incredible feat for anyone.
Rounding out the rest of the final table are Michael Soyza (905,000), Kahle Burns (835,000), Webster Lim (790,000), Ben Heath (765,000), Cary Kays (600,000), and Paul Phua (570,000).
