The PokerStars Festival London £990 Main Event has seen the Hippodrome Casino burst with players and many of them failed to bag up a stack in the previous three starting times. Thanks to the re-entry turbo heat Day 1d, everyone gets a second though and those that have not booked their seat for Day 2 yet can do so in 12 levels of 20 minutes each as of 10 p.m. local time.
Quite a few big names that dropped out today and yesterday are expected back at the tables such as Barny Boatman, PokerStars Team Pro Jake Cody, Daniel Wilson, Javier Zarco, £2,200 High Roller champion Joe Johnson are all among those that will likely fire a second bullet.
Even before the first cards were dealt, the tournament screens showed 100 entries to further boost the record. Check back regularly as the PokerNews live reporting team will be there for all the action as well.
