Despite bagging the chip leader on Day 1b, 888poker Ambassador Ian Simpson made a brief appearance at the start of Day 1c and spoke to PokerNews about his experience yesterday and how much of a relief it was to make it to Day 2 straight away.
"It was a fun day," he said. "A ridiculous day! I bluffed on the feature a couple of times but I apart from that I didn't really bluff all day.
"It's been great to have a day off. Some nice food — just nice and relaxing today. I was hoping for a day off ever since I got here, just make Day 2 straight away and give me a day off."
888poker Ambassador Kara Scott has been around the Casino Gran Via for a couple of days filming with the 888poker team, but now the time has come for her to join the Main Event field.
She starts Day 1c on the feature table and will be hoping to follow in Simpson's footsteps over the coruse of the day.
