German pro Robert Heidorn finished Day 1 very strongly and after eliminating Kara Scot in 11th place, went into play today third in chips.
"I finished well, and hopefully making the money (top six players) will be a minimum, providing there's no major clash between players in the top five."
Heidorn is humble yet hopeful about his chances, although he's not a fan of his table position.
"I'm sat between Chris Moorman and Tom Middleton, so it's pretty tough, but I will do my best. I'm looking forward to it."
Play is under way and will be live on the stream within 30 minutes.
With stars such as Antonio Esfandiairi and Chris Moorman at the felt as well as David Tuchman and Parker 'tonkaaaa' Talbot on commentary, the £2,000 High Roller at the 888Poker London Live Festival is about to start!
Play is scheduled to begin at 3pm local time, with commentary provided on the delayed stream (30 minute delay).
Will British poker heroes such as Chris Moorman and Tom Middleton (who each have 395,000 chips) prosper? Will The Magician pull a few tricks out of the hat to win? The first question is which six of the remaining nine will cash, because three players are about to depart for nothing but memories.
Eric Le Goff (444,000, pictured) leads the field, but Luke Hayward is but a three-bet behind. Both men will be desperate to establish control from the off.
