Field Continues to Grow; Can They Reach 300?

Level 3 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Yesterday's Day 1a attracted 193 players, and that figure was already surpassed with Day 1c barely half a level old. Now with almost two levels completed, the number stands at 268, with 259 players already remaining. This is close to doubling the total figure for yesterday's two flights in a single flight.

All that remains to be seen is whether the total for Day 1c can surpass 300. We will just have to wait and see!

Tom Middleton
Tom Middleton

Tom Middleton has a healthy stack well over 300,000 and according to our colleagues over at MypartypokerLIVE, he got most of his chips when, on a {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop Middleton ended up all in with {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} against the {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} of an opponent.

The river was the {7-Hearts} and that helped Middleton to becoming one of the bigger stacks in the room here on Day 1c of the partypoker LIVE UK Poker Championships £1,100 Main Event.
