While it's Day 4 in the Main Event here in London, it's also time for the £10,300 High Roller which tends to feature the crème de la crème of the poker world. Last year, Canadian Jason Lavallee defeated Simon Higgins for the title and the £357,700 first place money.
Last year's event featured a field of 159 players with Sorel Mizzi, Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliott and Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano among those who also made the final table. Today, this event will be playing ten one-hour levels with registration open until the start of Day 2.
Like the main event, this tournament will get underway at 12pm sharp and we'll be following all the action for this exciting three-day tournament!

The river card was the
