Keating Among Notables Giving Chase in £10,300 EPT High Roller

Josh Noy

Alex Keating leads a powerful lineup of poker superstars chasing chip leader Mike Watson as Day 2 of the £10,300 EPT High Roller begins at the PokerStars European Poker Tour London.

Watson collected more than seven starting stacks to lead the way, as 67 of the 139 entries from Day 1 return to do battle at the Hilton Park Lane. Late registration remains open until the start of play on Day 2, meaning the field will likely expand before the final prize pool is set.

Top 10 Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count	Big Blinds
1	Mike Watson	Canada	353,500	235
2	Daniel Aziz	Brazil	281,000	187
3	Alex Keating	United States	279,000	186
4	Renan Bruschi	Brazil	275,000	183
5	Leonard Maue	Germany	239,500	160
6	Leon Sturm	Germany	216,000	144

8	Bruno Volkmann	Brazil	203,000	135
9	Sam Grafton	United Kingdom	198,500	132
10	Alex Kulev	Bulgaria	176,500	118

The field is full of notable names at every table, including Joao Vieira sitting eighth in chips with 143 big blinds. Vieira is coming off a runner-up finish in the £25,000 Single-Day High Roller II here at EPT London.

PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton is not far behind, while the rest of the field includes the likes of Espen Jorstad, £10,200 Mystery Bounty champion Juan Pardo and £25,000 Single-Day High Roller II winner Daniel Dvoress. Julien Sitbon begins the day with a top-20 chip stack, taking his seat in the event just moments after wrapping up a 23rd-place run in the £5,300 EPT Main Event.

Play begins at 12:30 p.m. local time on Level 11 with blinds of 1,000/1,500 and a 1,500 ante. Players who take advantage of the late registration window will begin Day 2 with 33 big blinds.
The schedule consists of ten 60-minute levels, with a 15-minute break after every two and a 75-minute dinner break prior to the last two levels of play.

The PokerNews team will continue to provide complete coverage from the tournament floor at EPT London.

Calum Grant

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Francisco Benitez:
Jonathan Proudfoot:
Michel Dattani:

Proudfoot was in a great position to get a double up as well as securing an elimination and that's what happened after he ended with the nut flush following the runout.

Dattani was left with just 5,000 and was also ousted just a few hands later after getting it in with versus Martin Stausholm's . Dattani made top pair on the flop but was behind his opponent's two pair. The runout confirmed Dattani's exit.

Nemeth Raises the River

Josh Noy

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Michael Watson opened to 3,500 from middle position and was called by Andras Nemeth on the button and Kuljinder Sidhu in the big blind.

Sidhu and Watson checked the flop, with Nemeth firing 4,500. Sidhu called while Watson folded, and both players checked the turn.

Sidhu then led out for 13,500 on the river, and Nemeth took some time before sliding in a raise to 51,500. The bet represented almost all of Sidhu's remaining chips, and he mucked as Nemeth took it down.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mike Watson	348,000	-5,500
Andras Nemeth	102,000	67,500
Kuljinder Sidhu	53,500	-39,500
