Big Names Building Stacks
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Day 2e has kicked off with a mixture of short-stacks busting and mid-range stacks doubling up. The latter scenario has repeatedly featured some of the biggest names in British poker.
Leo McClean sat down with 574,000 and has already added a blue chip worth 100,000 in his climb up the leaderboard. Ashraf Wahid came into play with 400,000 but has vaulted to 640,000 in the blink of a few big blinds.
Local professional Chris Sly began Day 2e with 340,000 but now has almost double that with 610,000 to his name. Finally, James Mitchell (pictured) sat down with 460,000 but has already turned that into a million chips.
"I had queens against jacks, and then won with 
against 
to go just over a million."
