partypoker overcame an early technical glitch that saw partypoker Online MILLIONS Day 1A run 45-minutes over to hit their $5m Guarantee and hand the winner a million in prize money.

A little over a month ago, Swedish online poker star Johannes “Greenstone25” Korsar became the sixth person to surpass $10m in online MTT winnings. At that time, we predicted that either Chris “Gettin Daize” Oliver ($9,678,039) or Shyam “S_dot111” Srinivasan ($9,503,228) would become #7.

We may need to rethink that evaluation.

It’s been a big year for partypoker. The online poker room detached from the World Poker Tour (WPT) and went solo. partypoker LIVE was born. They installed John Duthie as President. The MILLIONS brand spread around the globe, promising and smashing multi-million dollar guarantees, and handing seven-figure scores to their winners.
