Welcome the High Roller Day 1!

We're back in action today at London's Aspers Casino in Stratford for the next event in the 888Poker London Live Festival - the £2,000 + £200 High Roller tournament.

Play gets under way at 2pm, with players such as Teddy Sheringham, Arron Fletcher and Steve Watts all expected to follow on from their appearance in the Opening Event with a second attempt at bagging a trophy.

Players will start play with 60,000 chips and there is a 40-minute clock throughout. Action kicks off at 3.00pm local time here in London, so join us for cards in the air very soon!
