The field is split between the two levels of the Casino right now with the majority of the field upstairs in the Flame and Shadow rooms; we've only got three lonely tables down here on the bottom level. They'll be the first to break out of the way, but we've got at least a few notables holding down the under-stair section down there.
The center table has Martin Kabrhel and Jason Mercier sitting side-by-side in the four and five seats with Jude Ainsworth in the nine. Next to them is a table that contains Anton Wigg and John Tabatabai, and those five are the only faces we recognize down here.
As expected, today's field is slightly more saturated with amateur players, with the pros more widely dispersed than Tuesday's opening event. Having said that, there are two celebrities up here that ran rampant through my teenage years: Tony Cascarino, who I used to cheer from the stands at Villa Park, and Michael Greco, who played Beppe (although never, ever call him that) in Eastenders.
Also present are Ben Vinson, Jake Cody, Scott Montgomery, Marc Goodwin and recent WPT victor Jake Cody.
The paperwork and announcements are all out of the way, and we can get down to business. We've got 171 players in their seats, and the cards are in the air!

It's Friday morning in London, and it's time for the halfway event in this 2010 WSOPE, the £1,000 No-Limit Hold'em shove-ament. That's actually a bit of an unfair moniker as this Allen Kessler-approved structure gives the players 3,000 chips with the blinds starting at a friendly 25/25.
This Event #3 will attract the largest field of this five-event Series, and today is the first of the three starting flights. We've got 145 players registered so far, and we'd expect to see that number hovering around 200 by the time Day 1a registration closes after the first break. Even as we type, three more bracelet hopefuls have added their name to the roster.
There's not much left to say until we get rolling at high noon, just about twenty minutes from now. We'll be back when the cards go flying.
