On the following hand Angell opened to 100,000 but folded when Fabrizio Fuchs moved all-in for 1,250,000. -- NW

12:50pm: Cagey startThe players have got off to a quiet start as one would expect.

The first hand saw Nickolas Davies raise to 110,000 from the hijack and Rasmus Agerskov call from one seat along. The board ran out J♠5♥A♥9♣Q♥ with both players checking all of the way. Agerskov opened pocket eights and Davies mucked.

The next two hands were "raise and takes." Sandro Mescola's 165,000 and Brett Angell's 100,000 raise were ok to take the blinds and antes. -- MC

Robbie Bull is playing Day 1A of the EPT and walked pasted the UKIPT arrange and gave it a glance, for he'll be passing at the title to a different soul today.

Seat one: Nickolas Davies, United States, PokerStars Player, 4,000,000Seat two: Rasmus Agerskov, Denmark, PokerStars Qualifier, 3,150,000Seat three: Sandro Mescola, Italy, 1,145,000Seat four: Vladimir Troyanovskiy, Russian Federation, PokerStars Player, 2,705,000Seat five: Brett Angell, United Kingdom, 5,190,000Seat six: Fabrizio Fuchs, Switzerland, PokerStars Qualifier, 1,240,000Seat seven: Caicai Huang, United Kingdom, 1,960,000Seat eight: Mark James, United Kingdom, PokerStars Player, 2,300,000
