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.
Geilich is a feared tournament crusher and everybody expected him to make the final table, but he busted in a dissappointing 14th place.
Many big names fall before the final table
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.
Scott Wellenback, who became a fan favorite at the PSPC last year as he donates all his tournament winnings to charity, unfortunately fell shy again of another big victory, finishing inn 4th for $650,000.

3-way deal sees Chris Hunichen secure the biggest chunk
In the next break, players quickly agreed to a 3-way deal, which secured Big Huni the biggest chunk, but left $100,000 and the trophy to fight for.
Big Huni not only took the biggest cheque, but also played the bluff of the tournament:
The best bluff of the @partypoker_CPP?!?!

It turned out to be an amazing deal for Hunichen as he was the next player, who hit the rails after falling to Aaron Van Blarcum.

In the interview after the final table he explained why:
“That one is special. Before this I was on the biggest downswing of my career. So this is huge to recover the confidence.”
