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.
