Dean Lyall won the inaugural version of this event last year, beating out a field of 407 entries to earn £58,130. Lyall, who just missed out on the final table of the High Roller yesterday, will likely be back to defend his title, but he’ll have to combat a sea of players trying to snatch it away today.
