The biggest buy-in in history saw 54 players take part in battling it out for their chance at the lions share of the massive prize pool worth £19,000,000 ($23,008,095) in the Triton Million - A Helping Hand for Charity.

Four pros, Timothy Adams, Dan Smith, Rui Cao, and Nick Petrangelo round out the top five heading into the start of the second day.

Just three recreational players besides Perkins sit among the top ten, Aaron Zang, Chin Wei Lim, and Hing Yang Chow all had better than average days and are looking in prime position to record a cash here in the London.
