GUKPT Grand Final Seeing Stars on Day 1b

Day 1b of BlueSquarePoker.com's Grosvenor UK Poker Tour grand final main event kicked off at 2 p.m. (BST) today.

The £3,000 + £150 buy-in event which is taking place in the Grosvenor Victoria Casino in London, saw 87 players hammered down to 23 during day 1a yesterday.

Today, 97 players including alternates turned up to take part, and they will also play until they reach the twenties mark. Notables seen taking their seats are: Michael Tureniec, Priyan Demel, Ram Vaswani, Padraig Parkinson, Willie Tann, Simon Trumper, Julian Thew, John Duthie, Neil Channing, Dave Ulliott, Peter Gould, Mickey Wernick, and Marty Smyth.

Although expecting a maximum of 400 entries, the event ran under with only 184 participants. However, with such a star-studded field and many talented online players present, the next few days will make for some very interesting action.

The survivors of both day 1a and 1b will battle it out tomorrow on day 2. The top ten chip leaders from day 1a awaiting their opponents are:

Chris Moorman: 139,100
Jeffrey Duvall: 100,400
Long Zhang, 93,300
Tony Cascarino: 87,900
Ariel Adda: 81,400
Panicos Ellinas: 80,700
Robin Keston: 71,000
William Martin: 63,200
Daniel Carter: 55,800
Stuart Rutter: 48,200
