Ben Shannon, the power ranger, doubles early
Professional comedian Ben Shannon called me over to "watch his bustout hand."
I arrived to see him table , which had Paul Preis' in super bad shape, for 210,000 each. The flop meant that this was highly unlikely to be Shannon's exit hand, with the turn confirming those assertions. The river was dealt as a mere formality and Shannon picked up the full double.
Meanwhile, Preis was left with a small handful of chips, which went in the very next hand to no avail, and we lost him very early on in Day 2E.

The calm before the storm on Day 2e here at Dusk Till Dawn
Yesterday's Day 2d began with 77 players, but today we already have 251 players in seats and that is over three times yesterday's field.
Even with 14 levels of play, we'd expect a lot more players to make it through to Day 3 and cash for £2,000. The minimum cash is £400 and half the Day 2e field will cash....who will make the cut?
A few words from partypoker President John Duthie have kicked off proceedings on Day 2e.
"Well done everyone for getting this far. I tried three times and failed so it's cash games for me! With blinds at 4,000/8,000/1,000 , dealers, shuffle up and deal."
Half the Day 2e field will cash, and with late reg to absorb the final few Day 1 qualifiers for 45 minutes, we'll have some precise numbers for on that as soon as we can.

Flips galore on Day 2d, but who will come out on top during Day 2e?
We're back in Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham for the start of 2e and a spectacular day of poker, fun and partying the like of which Nottingham or anywhere may not have seen!
With Day 2e due to begin at 12 noon, the period of late registration will last just 45 minutes before players are locked into another 14-level shootout for a place in the final day's seat draw.
That's not all, however, as the LVL UP Players' Party is sure to make the night go off with a bang for everyone's buck. Many players have entered for a tiny amount online and will continue to do so in Day 1 and Day 2 flights online today rounding off the entries. While that means we won't know the final day line-up until just before it begins tomorrow what that means for players is something really very special.
Anyone can enter today for fractions of the £200+20 buy-in of a Day 1 on partypoker online. They can then play tonight's online Day 2 and make tomorrow's final, where they can shoot for the biggest slice of £1,000,000. A major title, a huge top prize and all for a tiny buy-in? This weekend could see a very special poker story play out.
