Around 100 in Early Doors

Around 100 players took their seats for the very beginning of play, that number is expected to grow as the levels progress.

Sam Cohen is sat in front of media row and already has her table chatting away. High stakes player Peter Chan is sat one table along from Cohen. He skipped the $100,000 Challenge yesterday and is feeling fresh for the Main Event. Andrew Chen didn't skip it and will need a deep run to get out of the whole he finds himself in.

Simon Deadman is one of the UK's hottest up and coming poker talents and he's playing along with his fiancee, Shola Akindele.
