Approaching the first break of the day there have been 170 entries and 15 re-buys with 145 players still in.
That's a lot of action for 2 hours and there is no sign of it slowing up as the chips fly in all directions.
There's enough poker to keep anyone happy over the next 10 days here at the 888Live London Festival at Aspers, but it you do find yourself with some spare time to explore London, Chad Holloway has 5 recommendations for you.

The 888Live London Poker Players Party has got underway in the Sky Bar at Aspers Casino.
A mixture of specially invited guests, MVPs and qualifiers are enjoying a champagne reception with live music and a buffet as a start to their weekend of poker. Some may be playing the Opening Event tonight but we expect the majority to relax, enjoy themselves and the hospitality and table games before they get down to poker tomorrow.
Sin Menis Melin has joined the throng.
With two levels in the books there are now 140 players and 3 re-buys already.
