2:35pm: Advance to level two
Level 1, Blinds 25-50
On Day 1A we did get a bust out during the opening level (and a Royal Flush!) but despite there being more players on Day 1B - and therefore more hands dealt - all 144 players who've entered so far have made it safely through to Level 2.
2:20pm: Busy
Level 1, Blinds 25-50
The players just keep on coming! The board is showing that 133 players have entered Day 1B so far. There's a steady stream of eager hopefuls queued up at the cash desk waiting to get their tickets so that number is sure to rise significantly before late registration closes at (roughly) 4.25pm.
As suspected play has spread up to The Poker Deck, there are currently three tables in use up there with a couple more ready to be used if required.
2:04pm: Let's go
Level 1, Blinds 25-50
Shuffle up and deal! Action is under way.
1:45pm: Day 1B set to start
Welcome to live coverage of Day 1B of the UKIPT5 Series 3. Yesterday 134 players entered the fray with 39 of them making it through to Day 2.
On Day 1A the main Matcham Room was packed and with today expected to be busier the Poker Deck will also be in use at the start, meaning play will be split across two floors.
The target for anyone with aspirations of the overnight chip lead is 170,900 as that's what Sam Orledge finished on last night. A surge in the final level of the day saw him pip Chris Gordon to the chip lead. You can catch up on Day 1A action here.
Action will start at 2pm.
UKIPT5 Series 3 key facts:
- 20,000 starting stack
