Ludovic Geilich enters final day as chipleader, but misses final table

24 players were left on the final day of the 2019 partypoker MILLIONS World and team pro Ludovic Geilich was chipleader.

Other top pros, who missed the final table were GPI Player of the Year Alex Foxen, former WSOP Main Event champ Ryan Riess, Peter Jetten, Chris „Big Huni“ Hunichen, the biggest online poker tournament winner of all time Andras „probirs“ Nemeth and partypoker pro Philipp Gruissem, who became final table bubble boy.
