As the tournament director, Simon Trumper, announced Dusk Till Dawn are adding €589,060 to first place the players burst into spontaneous applause for 20-30 seconds. Trumper then joked that he would be having a whip around (a collection of money from everyone) because he will be out of a job on Monday due to the size of the overlay!
The tournament will be played hand-for-hand from 384 players onwards and go back to normal once the bubble bursts.
No luck for Surinder Sunar, he's one of the earliest exits after he lost a coin flip with pocket queens to another player's ace-king for around a 90,000 chip pot.
Mathew Frankland has slight transport problems on his way to ISPT Wembley Day 3 and arrived slightly late to his seat on Table 27. His late arrival seems to have done him no harm, on fact he just eliminated one player on the very first hand he played today.
Mark Gardener opened in middle position for 3,200 and Frankland called from the next seat over. Dmitry Slaykovski called in the cutoff and Antonio Leotta called on the button. Down to 19,600 and in need of chips, Jose Garcia moved all in from the big blind. Gardener got out of the way, but Frankland moved all in for an effective shove of around 46,000 due to the other players' stacks. Both active players folded and the cards were turned onto their backs.

Frankland:
Garcia fell behind on the but he was not out of it just yet because he still had an overcard and a club flush draw to fall back on. The turn was black but the wrong suit, as was the on the river. Garcia eliminated and Frankland is climbing towards 200,000 chips.
After barely ten minutes of play a couple of players are already heading for the exit, with only the memories of playing on the pitch at Wembley stadium to comfort them.
Peter Roche was first to fall. His no match for his opponent’s Roche hit a ten on the river but the Jack on the turn had already sealed his fate.
Yvon Aouizerate was next out. Holding on a board he called his opponents shove and discovered he was up against The turn and river were no help and he too was out just short of the money.
