Day 2 of Lex Live Starts at 1 p.m., £31,257 for First
All starting flights are done in the £230 Lex Live Main Event in Aspers Casino and the tournament attracted 889 entries. Only 182 players bagged, but four of them already had a chip stack in the tournament and had to forfeit the smallest stack. That means that 178 players will return for Day 2. The tournament staff confirmed that 107 players will be paid today and the winner will walk away with £31,257. The min-cash will be worth £320.
Hasan Gul will start the day as chip leader after he bagged 595,500 on Day 1d. No one was able to catch up on him in the flights that followed and Gul will sit on top. Patrick Winterbottom came to Lex Live after he won a package in the Streamer Showdown promotion. He won a package to the event, but also a one-in-six shot of winning a Platinum Pass by playing a special sit and go. He ended up winning the sit and go, but jumped straight into the Main Event in Aspers Casino. He bagged 52,500 on one of the two final flights and is one of the shorter stacks at the start with just over ten big blinds.
Other notable names from the Lex Veldhuis community that will start on Day 2 include Kevin 'Care_Teddy' van Veen (469,000), Glenn 'Letjal' Van Ingelghem (249,000), Peter 'Glaspeer' Glasbergen (245,000), Stefan Griesbeck (243,000), Daniel 'Neryus' Moes (200,500), and Damiano 'DAMMO_23' Aloi (167,500). Plenty more made it through.
Three PokerStars Ambassadors will start the day. James Mackenzie (170,500), Mason Pye, (146,000), and Arlie Shaban (135,500) will start Day 2 today with the hopes of becoming the next Lex Live champion.
The plan for today is to play down to either the final sixteen or the final table. The tournament staff will let them play a maximum of ten hours with two hours of breaks. Blinds will start at 2,500/5,000 with a 5,000 big blind ante and players will be under a 30-second shot clock. They will have multiple time extensions that give them an extra 30 seconds.
