If yesterday was ladies day then today was get a seat wherever you'll be able to day. After registration closed on the end of Level 6, 337 players had made Day 1C their home for the day, or a part of it. At one point, the Hippodrome Casino had tables in five separate areas on three different floors. It felt like in case you opened a cabinet door you'd discover a table in there. It'll was busy but everybody who wanted a seat got a seat.

Luo leads all heading to Day 2

Tom Hall came late, bossed some poses and made Day 2

Abalsteinn Karlsson set the early running today. He was the primary past 100,000 and almost made it to 200,000 before the wheels came off. The Icelander is a part of a bunch of players from his home country who love the tour and travel en mass to play. Karlsson made his mark at the tour on the recent UKIPT5 Dublin. His style and demeanour made him a favorite and he entered the general table as chip leader only to fall in fourth place. He told the blog firstly of the day that he really hoped for one more deep run.

Karlsson's swingy day resulted in defeat

For a protracted while that looked odds-on but he lost an enormous race within the latter stages to bust. He cold five-bet all in with pocket jacks and was called by Luo who held ace-king. Luo went directly to make two pair and after the dust had settled at the hand, his stack had jumped as much as massive 285,000, good for a transparent chip lead (on the point) that he never relinquished.

Cody couldn't make his magic work today

Joining Karlsson at the rail today were: Lawrence Bayley and Carlo Citrone - who busted in a same hand cooler; Team PokerStars Pro Jake Cody; PokerStars Live on the Hippodrome Ambassador Kelly Saxby; Ben Winsor, Richard Milner, Dara O'Kearney, Martins Adeniya, Leo McLean and JP Kelly.
