Players are now on a 15 minute break. Late registration will end after the break is over and we will update the final player count then.
The break after this one is a dinner break, however, many hungry players have been ordering food to their.
We earlier mentioned that England's Tamer Kamel was one of the bigger names to enter the field with over $1 million in live tournament cashes tracked by The Hendon Mob.
Kamel will not be adding to that total in the Unibet Open London Main Event as he recently was eliminated failing to miss his flush draw. His opponent was going for a gut-shot straight draw, but his ace-high scooped up a big three-way pot with a third player also drawing to a flush.

Unibet paid for the buy-in for four eSports stars in Day 1a and plans to do the same for Day 1b. Three out of four players have been eliminated leaving Charlotte Van Brabander as the last man - or in this case lady - standing. Brabander, who is on the feature table, was recently spotted with a stack of around 40,000 chips.
Gone from the tournament early on are eSports stars Craig Shannon, Byron Bernstein, and JJ Janssen.
