Day 1e Starts at 1 p.m. and Day 1f Starts at 6 p.m.
Another day of Lex Live 2 in London at the Aspers Casino and for today there is not one, but two ￡230 Main Event flights scheduled to take place. The first one is Day 1e and will start at 1 p.m. local time and the other will be Day 1f and that one will have the shuffle up and deal announced at 6 p.m. local time. The event features a wonderful ￡100,000 guaranteed prize pool.
So far only 56 players have made it through to Day 2 of the tournament out of 298 entries that were made across the first four starting flights. The overall chip leader right now is Hasan Gul. He finished Day 1d with 595,500 in chips and has a big lead on the number two, Robert Ionut with 400,000. The players will all try their best to beat Gul his stack.
Both flights of the tournament will feature fourteen 30-minute levels and a starting stack of 30,000. The first level of the day will be 100/100 and they will end with 2,000/4,000 with a 4,000 big blind ante. Registration will remain open for eight levels and players are allowed to reenter as many times as their heart desires. We've learned from previous flights that about 20 percent of the field will survive the day.
Other activities that are planned for today are the FU Flipout, a tournament where everyone flips for 5 big blinds after every level, and a beer pong activity. PokerNews will be on-site to provide coverage for Day 1e and chip counts will be posted of Day 1f later in the night.
