Pele in Play

The Beckham room is completely full today, so the Pele room is now in use. Among those in there are former Main Event finalist James Akenhead, EPT winner Michael Tureniec who has rebought, double EPT finalist Kevin Iacofano and 'Beard of the Day' owner Jerome Bradpiece.

Also joining the action is Akenhead's good friend Praz Bansi, one of the UK's only two-time WSOP bracelet winners.

Angry Face

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Eirimas Livonas has a poker face that is quite intimidating; he looks like he could explode in a fit of rage at any moment. He also plays a very aggressive style and loves to call once he has any part of the board. It is a style that has worked well for him recently.

In March, Livonas won the APAT World Championship Main Event for a £10,000 and the following week he won the GUKPT Manchester Main Event for £22,570. Can Livonas make it a hat-trick of victories in the space of three months? He certainly hopes so.

A Second Bite of the Cherry

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Anyone who busted out of Day 2a of the ISPT Wembley Main Event can re-enter on today's Day 2b providing they pay the €3,000 buy-in again. For their €3,000 investment, players receive an average sized stack of 52,700 chips.

A quick scout around the tournament area reveals Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi has re-entered; we hope he lasts longer than he did on Day 2a. Also, "Big" Roger Hairabedian is back in play, as are Chris Sly and the World Poker Tour Prague champion Marcin Wydrowski.

Liz Lieu Gets an Early Start

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante
Liz Lieu

It’s early on Day 2B at the ISPT and players are still taking their seats and un-bagging their chips ready for a long day of tournament poker.

At table 22 is Liz Lieu and it looks as if she’s ready to push the action.

Liz has won over $825,000 in live play. Her biggest win to date was taking $168,590 for 5th place in a 36th Annual World Series of Poker no-limit hold 'em event. She also played herself in the Hong Kong movie Poker King.

An early hand saw Liz involved in some blind on blind action with her in the small blind and a recreational player in the big blind.
With the board at the river reading {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {A-Hearts} Liz bet a tempting 600.

Her opponent reluctantly threw in the chips to call and, with a smile, Liz threw her cards in the muck. Her opponent went to do the same, but reminded he needed to show to claim the pot, he turned over {Q-Clubs} {3-Hearts}

“Bad river.” He said.

“Good river. Good river for you. If I hit my card then it would have been a bad river.”

Not too much damage done. Liz's stack is currently just below 51,000
