Day 1c Started
Two of the three flights of the £ 200 No Limit Hold'em partypoker WPT National London Accumulator at the Aspers Casino are done and dusted. Day 1b finished about an hour ago with 83 players out of the 177 entries bagging up chips and Matas Cimbolas jumped into the overall lead after a steamrolling performance that netted him 169,200.
He is not guaranteed the lead for tomorrow's day 2 though, as several other players such as Surinder Sunar, Gareth Smirthwaite and Jeraint Hazan bagged up chips in both previous flights. The overall attendance has increased to 370 entries and the final heat as of 8 p.m. UK time will decide if the guarantee of £ 100,000 will be eclipsed and by how much.
The PokerNews team will be back in half an hour when the third and final flight gets underway with another eight 30-minute levels scheduled and a starting stack of 20,000 chips. Among those to return to the tables are Gabriel Tuna, James Dempsey and WPT champions club member Tony Dunst. Many others will likely take the third bullet as well to increase their odds of a deep run.
Level: 1
Blinds: 50/100
Ante: 0
Don't get confused by the huge difference in chips for some of the below players, as the system picks up the difference to their last recorded stack at the end of day 1b. However, all entries on the third and final flight are on a fresh bullet with the starting stack once again.

In the previous two heats, Yilfer Shevket has been quite talkative at his tables and also often showed his cards after the opponents had folded. Exactly the same happened now again after he check-raised a flop of from 1,500 to 4,500. His opponent on the button gave it some thought before mucking and Yevket showed him and the whole table his .
