The 2022 PokerStars European Poker Tour London continued today and the two starting flights of the £2,200 UKIPT High Roller played out on the felt at Hilton Park Lane.

There were 507 entries on Day 1a and players played down to 15% of the field. The number they played down to was 76 players, and they will all be in the money when they return for Day 2 and combine with the 29 survivors from Day 1b.

The two flights created a total prize pool of £1,345,920 from 701 total entries and the payouts will be announced before Day 2 for the 105 total players in the money.
