The action is zipping along with the 30 second shot clock.
It has all gone smoothly so far with the dealer keeping control of the timer working out well.
There are now 49 players at the tables with the first break of the day scheduled for the end of this level.

The first 200 players to preregister or enter before the end of the first level for the £1,000 Main Event tomorrow, Thursday 12th October, will be eligible to spin the wheel for the chance to win an amazing Immerse 360 Action Camera worth £200.
That's £40,000 worth of giveaways!
The catch? If you are lucky enough to be one of those 200 spinning the wheel, your odds of winning the camera are 52-1 on. That means there are 52 slots on the wheel where you will win the camera and just one losing slot.
Cards are in the air at 6 p.m. with hour long levels so don't be late.
Level: 3
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 100
Play kicked off a little late, as is the High Roller prerogative, and the plan is to play 8 levels today before the survivors bag up chips.
This is an unlimited re-buy event so expect the field to stay fairly big for most of today's play.
There will be regular short breaks but no planned dinner break.
The ranks of the high rollers have been swollen to 43 players including these familiar faces.

For the first time in 888Live tournaments Aspers will see the introduction of the Shot Clock.
Once the dealer has dealt the last card in a hand they operate the timer with a pedal and the 'Shot Clock' begins and each player will be given 30 seconds to act.
If a player is facing a bet or raise, the timer will begin only after their chips are counted and the number of chips required to call are stated. Players will also be allotted a certain number of time extensions, each of which will add an extra thirty seconds to the timer in the event that they need more time to reach a decision.
You can read more about the Shot Clock which will be used in both the High Roller and the Main Event later in the Festival.
Level: 2
Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 100
With 31 players registered so far some of the biggest names from the U.K poker scene are among the early arrivals including 888Poker Ambassador Chris Moorman.
