The WSOPE London High Roller event attracted a field of 103 players who could afford the buy-in of £10,350. Many of these 103 players were big names in the poker world. To mention a few, Viktor Blom (Isildur1 according to many), Huck Seed, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen and Erik Sagström. All of them, except the swedes Viktor Blom and Erik Sagström, are among the 32 players who will return to play Day 2 today.
Since this is a NLH heads-up tournament, all the remaining players will start with equal stacks today. This makes it super interesting and thrilling at the same time as it's impossible to predict who will make it to Day 3. Anyhow, the players who win their first heads-up today are guaranteed some money. There's £1,030,000 up for grabs and some really exciting and thrilling heads-up matches to expect as the tournament is closing in on the final heads-up. May the best poker player win!
