Level 4
: 200/400, 75 ante
Tom Middleton and Melanie Weisner have got involved in a fairly big pot on their table, which also features Katie Moorman.
On a flop of 
, both Middleton and Weisner checked. On the turn of 
Middleton made it 5,500. Weisner called. The river 
saw both check again and Middleton's 
took it down. Wesiner is short again after a difficult few days in both the High Roller and Day 1a. However, Middleton is chip leader in the room with ten minutes to go until the next break.

Mizrachi Chipping Up
Level 4
: 200/400, 75 ante
Michael Mizrachi has started to build an impressive stack at his Day 1b Main Event table here at the 888poker London Live Festival.
The elite No Hold'em player who calls Ohio homemade it 1,600 from the small blind and was called by the player on the button. The flop of 
saw Mizrachi continue for 2,000.
"That's not a bad flop for me." he said, but he was ignored by the big blind player, who immediately raised all-in for 11,125.
"I'm drawing." said Mizrachi's opponent after Mizrachi called.
"You don't want to be drawing." confirmed Mizrachi as he turned over 
for the nut flush draw. He was up against 
.
The slightly improbable landed on the turn, meaning Mizrachi had his nut flush, and the river 
was meaningless. 'The Grinder' has well over the chip average.

Moorman Out Then In
Level 4
: 200/400, 75 ante
Chris Moorman enjoyed a solid day at the High Roller felt yesterday, but it would be fair to say that his Main Event experience has been more up and down...or rather down and up.
First, Team 888Poker ambassador Moorman was all-in on a flop of 
and had 
for Broadway against the caller's pocket jacks. But the board ran out with consecutive deuces on turn and river to give his opponent a full house.
Buying back in, Moorman has landed on the table of fellow Arsenal supporter and British professional Steve Watts. In their first hand together, we joined the action with Watts c-betting the flop of 
for 1,300. Moorman called to a turn of 
and both men checked. The river of saw Watts make it 2,625, but when Moorman made it 8,100, Watts folded.

Bader Beaten by the Champ
Level 3
: 150/300, 50 ante
Eric Le Goff made it 700 and Martin Bader called from the big blind.
"I bet I have the best hand." Bader said.
The two men saw a flop of 
saw Le Goff continue for 1,000. Bader made it 2,200 and Le Goff called. The turn of 
saw both men check and they did the same on the 
river. Le Goff turned over and Bader .
"Oh, I knew I had the best hand pre-flop." said Bader. Le Goff raked in the pot, however and the High Roller champion who won £30,000 yesterday evening, is off to a good start.

Sam Grafton has only just sat down, but the Poland-based British pro has already grown his starting stack in the first hand he played.
Calling an opening bet in position to 2,500 pre-flop, Grafton led the flop of 
for 3,000, getting a call. On the turn of
