Leading the Day 1b field is Adam Junglen, who at last count was up to over 83,000 in chips. Remy Biechel, James Akenhead, Phil Laak, and Isaac Haxton will also return tomorrow with healthy stacks.
Official chip counts will be posted once they become available -- which we're told will be in about an hour or two.
Join us again tomorrow for continuing coverage live from the floor of London's Empire Casino. Until then, from Leicester Square, good night and good luck!

Who Shot J.R.?
and was looked up by the big blind holding 
.The board came
. Most of the damage to Bellande's stack happened as a result of a collision with Adam Junglen awhile ago. He raised from under the gun, and Remy Biechel called from the button before Junglen reraised. Bellande the raised again, forcing Biechel to fold, but Junglen moved all in. After working the math, Bellande was forced to call with
offsuit. He was dominated by Junglen's 
and didn't improve.

John Phan opened for a 2,000 raise and James Akenhead flat-called. The flop came down

For more on this story, check out the interview he did with our own Gloria Balding earlier today.
Bloch Gets His Wish
Free Dinner on the Way
He called a raise to 2,200 from a late-position player whilst sitting in the big blind, before the flop came
.Both players checked it, so we headed straight to the turn
. Junglen led out for 2,200 before his opponent bumped it up to 5,700, leaving himself 10,700 back. Junglen then reraised enough to put his opponent all in and eventually forcing the fold.Junglen is up to a massive 81,000 now. "He's pretty good," aimed Shaun Deeb at me from the next seat.
David Williams Eliminated by Andy Black
, but unfortunately ran smack into the 
of Andy Black. No help for Williams on the 
board and he hit the rail.
Lights Off!
