Day 1b Started
With 26 players already assured of a place in Day 2 of the 888Live London Easter Edition Main Event, tonight sees players' second chance to lock up a seat and a potential share of £100,000 in guaranteed prize money.
Play is scheduled for six 40-minute levels, followed by four 60-minute levels. The buy-in is £440 and each player is allowed to re-enter twice per flight.
Yesterday saw 888Poker Ambassador Sofia Lovgren take to the felt, and she finished the night second in chips behind Hoa Quan. It remains to be seen whether anyone can come close to his total, but we'll have to wait until roughly 3 a.m. to find out.
