Before the action
Good morning and welcome back to the Hilton Metropole Hotel, where more than 400 poker players are expected today for Day 1B of the European Poker Tour’s London event.
Yesterday, 339 players took their seats in the poker room and the record turnout from last year will be probably beaten. That means it would be the biggest poker playing field in England’s history.
The chip leader of Day 1A was the young American online qualifier Soheb Porbandarwala with 218 K in chips.
