Welcome to the 888Poker London Live Main Event Final Day!

MrPaulSeaton

With Shah Raza leading the way, we have 14 players who are desperate to win a title, a trophy and the £50,000 top prize here in London as the 888Poker London Live Festival draws to a thrilling conclusion with the final of the Main Event.

Although Raza (1,153,000) leads the way, he has illustrious company to battle through if the overnight leader is to become champion. Charles Chattha (922,000), Sam Grafton (900,000) and Kevin Allen (313,000) are all British pros who have won major titles and they will each want to put their stamp on the circuit with another major title.

Kara Scott (315,000) enjoyed a rollercoaster day at the felt yesterday during Day 2, but will be confident if she can reach the final nine. Enzo Del Piero (500,000) is coming into action in possibly the best form, with two High Roller titles in the past month to his name. Philippe Souki may just be the ace in the pack with 643,000 after a stunning couple of levels at the end of the previous day's action.

Each of the 14 players will hope to take the tournament down and it is anyone's as play kicks off with no-one too far ahead or behind their rivals. Even Tony Doggett knows that one double-up will put him right back into contention for the trophy.

With hour-long levels until heads (when it changes to 30 minutes), we'll be in action from 1pm to bring you all the drama as it happens, and you can watch the delayed live stream throughout.

Let's find a champion!
