Can Anyone Top Deadman's Day 1a Total?
Welcome back to PokerNews' coverage of the 2015 World Poker Tour UK Main Event where at 12:00pm GMT Day 1b begins.
The opening starting flight saw 148 players exchange £2,200 for 30,000 tournament chips and the chance of joining an elite group of players in becoming a WPT champion. After the completion of 10 hour-long levels, only 56 of those players still had chips in front of them.
Nobody had more chips to cram into their overnight chip bags that Simon Deadman, who turned his 30,000 starting stack into a massive 312,500 to claim the overnight chip lead by some margin. Deadman's nearest rival is Daniel Parsonage who returns to the action on Day 2 with a still impressive 201,300 chips, going to show how substantial Deadman's lead is.
Day 1b needs 352 players in order to hit the lofty guarantee meaning it should be a busy day here at Dusk Till Dawn. Late registration is open until the end of the sixth level and the players will grind for 10 hour-long levels before calling it a night.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for all of the action from this superb event.

Some Notable Names
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Day 1b is underway and there are already some familiar names among the 100 starters.
Expect fireworks from Ali Mallu who is infamous for playing any two cards regardless of the action before him. Another aggressive player is Waheed "Wadey" Ashraf who is one of the biggest winners here at Dusk Till Dawn.
Speaking of fireworks, there is a fireworks party on November 5, which happens to be Bonfire Night in the UK. Starting at 10:00pm, there is free food and drink, a live band called Tru Groove, a DJ and "not to be missed" fireworks display. Be there or be square.

Misclick Works in Clarke's Favor
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
James Clarke checked from the big blind seat on a 
flop and Wentao Pei checked from the next seat along. Leo McClean, on the cutoff, bet 600. Clarke then called, but accidentally put in a red 1,000 chip into the pot along with a blue 100 chip, which was deemed a raise and he was instructed to put another 100 into the pot.
Pei called and McClean called.
The turn was the 
and all three players checked, with Clarke leading for 1,800 on the 
river. Pei called, McClean folded and Clarke won an early pot courtesy of his 
.

Early Risers
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
The big players keep on coming down to Dusk Till Dawn including Carlo Citrone, Alex Spencer, Chris Gordon and Andy Black.
Gordon bust from Day 1a of the Main Event when his 
lost to Peter Wigglesworth's when the board four-flushed. It goes without saying he'll be hoping to run better on Day 1b.
Andy Black, the Irish legend, is also in the field and should provide ample entertainment throughout the day.

On Your Marks
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Dan Owston made it 225 to go from middle position and Colin Marks called from the next seat along. David Gomez squeezed on he button to 1,200 and only Marks called.
The 
flop was checked by Marks, bet to the tune of 1,300 by Gomez and called by Marks. Both players then checked the 
turn, before Marks bet 2,050 on the 
river. Gomez wasn't interested in paying this bet and folded, leaving Marks to add to his stack.
Davenport Has a Set Paid Off
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
There's another talented player in the Day 1b field, a certain Matthew Davenport, and he has climbed to 33,000 after the first few hands here at Dusk Till Dawn.
It was Kelly Saxby who kicked off the preflop betting round, raising to 325 from the button. Davenport called in the small blind an Michael Fletcher called from the big blind. All three players checked the arrival of the 
flop, but Davenport led for 400 on the 
turn. Fletcher folded and Saxby called.
The 
completed the board and Davenport bet again, making it 1,500 to see a showdown. Saxby called, then mucked when she was shown 
for a set of sixes.

Jordon Is Fast Out of the Blocks
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
If you followed our High Roller coverage you should remember we mentioned that Terry Jordon is not afraid to splash around in pots and play for stacks at any time. A few moments ago, he checked from the big blind on a 
flop and then called a 4,500 bet from Steve Brown in what was apparently a four-bet pot preflop.
Both Jordon and Brown checked the 
turn, leading Jordon to be 12,000 on the river, prompting a fold from his opponent.
