Plenty of players have already confirmed their spots in Day 2, including Day 1a chip leader Adam Neal and Day 1b chip leader Ludovic Geilich. partypoker Ambassador Marcel Luske and UK Poker Championships £5,300 Super High Roller winner Steven Morris also advanced from Day 1a, and will have the luxury of watching from the sidelines to see who else joins them.
Just like yesterday, players will have 12 levels of 40-minutes to grow their 100,000 stack to see if they can rival the seven-figure stack of Day 1b chip leader Geilich, who is the overall chip leader at this stage.
