Satellited into the £1000 NL.........first ever WSOP event wiiii

Can't say I'm over enthusiastic over 3000 starting chips,but they say the event plays well deeper in , so lets hope 

It's one of the most awesome structures I've played in. Starts at 25/25 so still a fair amount of play when you consider the 1 hour clock.

Are you sure about that?  The structure PDF says level 1 is 25/50

It said that last year too but it definitely started at 25/25.

yes good to see today it is 25/25,.....strange they can't get the PDF info right!?

Day Two Concludes: Racener Leads Final Two Tables
 

Today was supposed to be a story about two bubbles; the money bubble and the final table bubble. We can forget about the second bubble as that is still a distant dream to be worried about in the future, it's the first bubble that dominated today's play. It took around four hours of play to go from 19 players down to 18 players and the extremely unfortunate soul finishing in 19th was John Kabbaj. He got it in very good against chip leader John Racener but the latter has been running very good this year and that form continued.

Racener navigated the last level to remain in the lead with 276,000 chips. The chasing pack include Karl Mahrenholz (211,000) and 6-max finalist Willie Tann (154,000) and holding up the rear is Sean Dempsey (36,500).

It was many moons ago (or so it seems like) that 49 players returned for Day Two aiming to make the money and then on to the final table. Daniel Tafur was the first to leave and not long after him were Full Tilt Pros Vitaly Lunkin and Raul Paez. Other team members of theirs to fare better but also fail to cash include Ross Boatman, Roberto Romanello, Paul Zimbler and Scott Fischman. Other big names to leave without a payday were Hoyt Corkins, Frank Kassela, Chad Brown, Toby Lewis, Phil Laak and Barry Greenstein.

15 players made it through the day and they will all return at 3pm (BST) tomorrow where they will play all the way down to a winner who will receive a coveted gold and diamond bracelet, the second to be handed out at this year's WSOPE festival. The action is sure to be faster paced tomorrow so please join us back here then to see how it pans out. Our final words come from the wise mouth of Willie Tann: "It's been a hard day's night!"

End of Day 1a
 

With 28 players, the tournament staff have decided to finish for the day at the end of this level, one hour earlier than originally planned. The remaining players are currently coloring up some of the chips as otherwise there will not be enough green 25 chips to go around for Days 1b and 1c.

The reigning champion of this event, JP Kelly made a late surge towards the end of the day, and he has made it through as one of the few survivors from the 202 players that entered today. Other players who made it through include Keith "The Camel" Hawkins, EPT Copenhagen winner Anton Wigg, and November Niner Matthew Jarvis. The chip leader at the end of the day, however, is Jeppe Bisgaard with 49,000 chips.

Today's field included a swarm of prior bracelet winners including Marty Smyth, Lawrence Gosney, Antonio Esfandiari, John Juanda, James Dempsey, Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson and Jason Mercier. They're just spectators tonight, though, as nary a one of that list were able to make it through the day.

Tomorrow, we're expecting an even bigger field given that it is the weekend; with Sunday's Day 1c additions, we could even see a new record set for the biggest field in a major UK tournament.

Day 1b will start on Saturday at 12:00 p.m. local time.
