A rather unexpected guest has appeared in the Day 1b field as two-time WSOP bracelet winner Keith Lehr was among the most recent entries. Now based in Dubai for the time being, Lehr jumped on a plane to the English capital and entered Day 1b. "I might stay here longer," he said before taking a seat.
PokerStars ambassador Steve Enriquez also entered and already nearly doubled while Dan Wilson and Kevin Allen can be found at the tables as well.

flop. On the turn, the action checked to Sitbon in the under-the-gun position and he bet 6,500 into a pot of around 10,000. The button called and the big blind then check-jammed for 21,700. Sitbon went all-in over the top and the button folded, flashing a black 
combo for a second.

Soon after the double for Kanan Farzaliyev, the very same table brought more fireworks and none other than Terry Jordon looked up three shorter stacks in a four-way all-in. The biggest stack of around 18,000 belonged to Colin Paddington, while Gary Tan and Carlos Estivill were also involved as well.
Carlos Estivill: 
Gary Tan: 
Colin Paddington: 
Terry Jordon: 
The flop brought some magic Jordon as he flopped the straight. Nothing changed on the 
turn and the river secured the triple knockout for Jordon. "Five high like a boss," the Brit joked as he raked in the pot with a big grin on the face.

In a loaded pot to the turn with 23,000 in the middle, Kanan Farzaliyev bet 20,000 with few chips behind. His sole opponent was Colin Paddington, who went into the tank and eventually jammed it in and Farzaliyev called it off.
Kanan Farzaliyev: 
Colin Paddington:
The 
river was already meaningless as Farzaliyev had the unbeatable set of kings.

Ever since he was moved tables, Nick Walsh was unable to accumulate chips and has already dropped one third of what he started with while Deborah Worley-Roberts aka "Debs the Destroyer" saw her stack go the other way.
Also featured on the same table is Joe Laming, who took on Walsh and the player right in between. It was a very minor pot on which the action checked to Laming on the 
flop. Laming bet 1,800 and that was all it took to secure the pot for Laming without resistance.
