Join us again tomorrow for all the action from the floor of the Empire Casino in London, where a sellout crowd is expected for Day 1b of this £1,500 No-Limit Hold'em tournament.
Until then, good night and good luck from London!
board, Brian Johnson check-raised Henrik Gwinner all in. Gwinner, having committed most of his stack, muttered something along the lines of having tickets to see the Chelsea vs. Manchester United match on Sunday, and how he'd rather go to that than try to negotiate the last few minutes of the level with a short stack. He called all in with 
against Johnson's 
, which tripped up on the 
river even though it wasn't needed.
Mehrmand had the misfortune of taking his
to war with Daniel Negreanu's 
. The money went in on the 
flop. The and the 
that followed were no help to Mehrmand and he hit the rail with about seven minutes to play before we wrap for the day.

. Ngo checked once more and was to face an all-in bet, this time totaling 13,900.He sat there and thought for a long while, but it was no Hollywood as he made the call for most of his stack with
. It was a good call too as he had Hostrup's out-kicked.The river came
!!! It made two pair for Ngo but made the straight for Hostrup, doubling him up once more, this time to 42,000.
Johnson folds, flashing the
which must please Channing as he shows 
to the small blind's 
. The board runs out 
to double Channing up, and Brian Johnson lets out a groaning laugh. "You'll never guess what I had,
!"Meanwhile, at the same time Willie Tann moves all in and gets called with his

board.
