The Money Bubble Looms
There has been much excitement at Dusk Till Dawn during the past week with the Halloween celebrations, then the fireworks party and today is the most exciting of all — it's the day the money bubble bursts.
At 12:00 pm, 59 players return to their seats in the 2015 partypoker World Poker Tour UK Main Event knowing that only five of them will be eliminated without any prize money to show for their effort. Fifty-four places are paid and once those positions are reached, everyone who has even a solitary chip in front of them locks up £4,500. Not only that, but they'll also be in with a chance at walking away with the £200,000 first-place prize.
Paul Dando is the man to catch going into Day 3; he is armed with 775,000 chips and it would take a crazy run of cards for him not to reach the money. Hot on Dando's heels is Philip Hepburn (643,500) and Julien Rouxel (621,000) while such luminaries as Billy Chattaway (465,000), Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi (425,000) and Simon Deadman (406,000) are lurking.
PokerNews is still awaiting confirmation of Day 3's schedule, but it is thought there will be five 90-minute levels played, during which time the number of entrants will be drastically reduced. The second we have confirmation of today's schedule, you will find it on these very pages.
