Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jake Collins put himself in position for a repeat performance today on Day 1b of the 888poker Live Glasgow £888 Main Event.
Two months ago, Collins made his first-ever live poker cash count when he made the final table of the 888poker Live Madrid Main Event. Back on home soil this time around, Collins was on the right side of two flips as he ended up with 353,000.
He first won a big race with jacks against William Henderson’s ace-king to score the knockout. Collins then hit the river to win another race, this time against Jonathan Klingenberg in the closing moments of the day.
Collins is looking up only at Brandon Sheils, who took the overall tournament chip lead with a massive stack of 393,000. Blyth Paterson (267,000), Terry Grant (248,000), and Nicholas Swann (225,500) round out the top five.

Dean Lyall was back to defend the title he won here last year, but two bullets weren’t enough for Lyall to survive the day and he’ll have to try again on another flight. Matthew Davenport, David Docherty, Michael Kane, and 888poker Ambassador Ian Simpson were also eliminated throughout the day.
Day 1b attracted 158 entries to the Grosvenor Casino Merchant City, bringing the field up to 233 through the first two starting flights. There is still the turbo Day 1c flight that is ongoing, while the turbo Day 1d flight begins tomorrow at 11 a.m. All surviving players from the four starting flights return at 5 p.m. for Day 2. The action picks up on Level 15 with blinds of 1,500/3,000 and a 3,000 big blind ante. Late registration remains open until the start of the day, so the field should grow substantially by the time the official prize pool is confirmed.
Stay tuned as PokerNews returns tomorrow to follow all the action on Day 2 leading up to the money bubble and onwards to the final table.
