Day 2 Started

Welcome to Day 2 of the 2016 Unibet Open London Main Event

Jaxon

In just half an hour, action will resume in the 2016 Unibet Open London Main Event, as the 120 players out of the 418 entrants participating in the first two opening flights are getting ready for battle for a piece of the £313,500 prize pool.

A little less than half the field - or 54 players - will cash in the tournament for at least £1,650. However, players have their eye on the huge top prize of £62,000 that will be awarded at the end of Day 3 to the winner.

Currently it is Day 1A chip leader Jan Riha from Czech Republic sitting on top of the field with a healthy 298,800 chip stack with blinds set to resume at 1,200/2,400 and an ante of 300. Not too far behind him is Norway's Geir Reka Tollerud (second place - 263,500 chips), Germany's Giulio Mascolo (third place - 254,900 chips), France's Erik Le Goff (fourth place - 242,500 chips), and Lithuania's Edgaras Kisielius (fifth place - 239,000 chips).

According to the big board, the average chip stack is currently at 104,500 chips, representing about 43.5 big blinds. The tournament director informed us we will likely try to get down to a final table today. With the stacks still deep and one hour blind levels, it is likely play today will extend beyond the 10 blind levels that took place for the two opening flights. Even if a final table isn't reach, play will end no later than the end of level 22 which should be around 2:00 AM local time.

Stay tuned to our live reporting here at PokerNews for updates throughout the day.
