Other big stacks include Leon Campbell (141,100), Guy Taylor (129,000), Gary Miller (119,700) and Kuljinder Sidhu (107,500).
Grosvenor Poker 2021 National League Champion Euan McNicholas also bagged ahead of Day 2, with his stack of 59,700 below average but still 50 big blinds.
Players who were unfortunate to miss out include Grosvenor Sponsored Pros Katie Swift and Jamie Nixon, along with Chris Da Silva, Francois Pirault, Ludovic Geilich, Sam Grafton, Niall Farrell and Muskan Sethi.
The tournament resumes at 12 p.m. on Saturday, February 5 with the survivors from the Turbo Day 1C which at the time of writing is reaching its conclusion. We will post a full list of players advancing from that flight after its conclusion later tonight.
