Day 2 of £50,000 Super High Roller Begins at 12:30 p.m.

Adam Lamers

Welcome back to the second day of the £50,000 Super High Roller here at the PokerStars European Poker Tour London. After eight levels were played on Day 1, the field of 30 entries was whittled down to just 16 players with Ben Heath leading the charge.

The high-stakes tournament brought out some of the best players in the world to battle it out for one of the largest paydays at this year's stop in London. The field was littered with familiar names and there was no shortage of some great poker being played. That being said, in such a small field there is only room for a limited number of players to reach the money and take home a piece of the prize pool.

That will all take place today when the action resumes at 12:30 pm local time at the Hilton Park Lane. Heath will enter the day as the chip leader with a stack of 918,000 chips, good enough for roughly 150 big blinds. He will be joined by Christoph Vogelsang (843,000) and Philip Sternheimer (654,000) at the top of the leaderboard.

Late registration will remain open until the start of play today for any of those looking to grab a last-minute starting stack of 250,000 chips. When the action resumes, the blinds will continue at 3,000/6,000 and a 6,000 big blind ante. The levels will still be 60 minutes in length throughout the day with a 20-minute break after every two levels. The schedule for the day indicates they will play down to the final six players or into the money, but that could always change.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be back on the tournament floor to bring you all of the live updates as the action unfolds en route to crowning a new champion tomorrow.
