Level two is underway for about 10 minutes and the screens already show 171 players registered. Two of them have been running out of chips thus far and the hosts are hoping for around 200 entries in the first of three flights.
James Akenhead hasn't played poker for a while and this is actually his very first event back on the felt. With staggering $3,121,326 in live tournament cashes, he is only eclipsed by one player on Day 1a. That's Surinder Sunar, who has an even more impressive $4,667,665 in scores according to his Hendon Mob profile.

One of the most notable players in today's field surely is Tamer Kamel and he happens to sit on the same table as Tristan Chaplin. In the last hand of the previous level there was a raise to 250 and Chaplin, the player in the small blind as well as Kamel called.
The 
flop was checked through before Kamel made it 500 on the 
turn. Only Chaplin called and Kamel check-called a bet of 825 on the 
river. Chaplin flipped over 
, which caused Kamel to tap the table and muck the inferior 
.

While an accumulator event is not very common yet, it has gained some popularity recently and was also part of the World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific last October. What makes it so special? There are multiple starting days and players can participate in each of them to gain chips. At the end of the starting day, the chips are bagged up and will be put forward to Day 2. If you happen to bag up a stack more than once, those chips will be combined and then form the starting stack for Day 2.
At the Aspers Casino, there will be three flights in total with today's 1a as well as 1b and 1c tomorrow.
While this specific blogger hasn't covered any events in London yet, two of today's participants are known from online poker. Tristan Chaplin and Gareth Smirthwaite are both playing plenty of Satellites to tournaments in the UK. Chaplin finished ninth in this very event last year for £ 2,160.
