8.50pm: Mitchell shoots up the chip countsLevel 9 - Blinds 500-1,000 (100 ante)
A big hand just played out between Irish Open winner James Mitchell, LAPT9 Chile winner Rodrigo Strong, and Germany's Kevin Barden, which has seen Mitchell rocket up the chip counts.
Barden kicked off the hand with a typical open which Strong then 3-bet, resulting in a chilly 4-bet from Mitchell to 21,000. Both Barden and powerful called and the 3 saw an 8♥5♠9♠ flop crumple. It checked to Mitchell who jammed for his whole 33,700 stack. Barden thought for a minute before throwing his hand away, after which Strong began to work in the course of the hand himself. He counted out calling chips, but took his time, glancing up on the tournament clock.
The chips eventually found themselves within the middle, and robust turned over A♣K♦ for ace-high. It was a hero-call gone awry, as Mitchell had the A♦A♠ in his holding. The 7♠ and 3♠ completed the board, giving Mitchell some major wind in his sails. He now sits with around 130,000, while Strong is right down to 33,000. --JS
6.36pm: Take a pleasant long KnappLevel 9 - Blinds 500-1,000 (100 ante)
"Good luck guys!" said a gracious Daniel Knapp after he busted to Donal O'Connor.
The latter had raised to 2,000 from early position and was called in a single spot before Knapp squeezed all in for 12,700 from the small blind. O'Connor was the one caller.
Knapp: A♠2♥O'Connor: 3♣3♥
The board ran 5♦T♣5♣5♠6♥ to look the threes delay. -- MC
6.32pm: Level upLevel 9 - Blinds 500-1,000 (100 ante)
6.26pm: The Spanish are comingLevel 8 - Blinds 400-800 (100 ante)
Walking across the room, the 3 biggest Spanish names within the room belong to Leo Margets, Andoni Larrabe, and Sergio Aido.
If they want an introduction, here you go: Margets is an experienced pro with a lot of cashes at the circuit; Larrabe is healthier known for finishing 6th within the 2014 WSOP Main Event for $1,622,471; and Aido is absolute beast and UKIPT champion - taking down this very event in 2013 for £144,555. Here is a hand for they all from the last orbit.
Margets took hers down; she opened to 1,700 from the hijack and got a caller from the large blind. The flop came Q♥7♣K♦, it checked to her and she or he took it down with a c-bet of 1,800. She's as much as roughly 40,000 now.
Meanwhile, Larrabe didn't fare in addition. A player opened to 1,600 from the hijack and Larrabe flatted out of the large blind, only to look the 3♥Q♥K♠ fall at the flop. The November Niner check-called a gamble of 2,100, leading us to the 8♥ turn. This time Larrabe check-called a big gamble of 5,000. There'd be not more betting at the J♣ river though, and Larrabe needed to muck when his opponent showed K♦4♦ for high pair. He's still healthy with 57,000 though.
So, what would we discover at the usually hyper-aggressive Sergio Aido's table? Cold-four bet jamming? Seven-bet pots?
Nah, Aido is solely chilling on his phone. He does have 37,000 though, so he's having an excellent day thus far. --JS
Sergio Aido - nothing to report right now
6.20pm: 307 in, so far, for UKIPT6 LondonLevel 8 - Blinds 400-800 (100 ante)
Registration closed on the end of Level 6 and the tournament clock showed, since then, that 161 players entered today. After the TDs double and triple-checked, that number have been confirmed.
Add that to the 146 that entered yesterday and also you get 307 players that gave entered thus far. That prize pool is getting juicy so get yourself all the way down to the Hippodrome Casino tomorrow to be in with an opportunity of a slice of the cash on offer. -- MC
6.12pm: Momma getting salty?Level 8 - Blinds 400-800 (100 ante)
Deborah Worley-Roberts and Louis Salter have battled in a couple of pots today. Their banter indicates so. Salter can most likely handle Worley-Roberts from a poker point of view, we aren't sure that he is had enough life experience to manage what comes out of her chops though.
Can Salter handle Worley-Roberts?
Worley-Roberts opened to 2,000 from early position and Salter defended his big unaware of see a 4♣5♥8♠ flop fan in from of them. Salter check-called 2,200 there and another 3,000 at the 6♣ turn. He checked for a 3rd time at the A♦ river and Worley-Roberts said. "YOU HAVE BEEN getting so lucky against me." before checking behind.
Salter opened J♣5♣ and lost out to Worley-Roberts' A♥6♥.
"Momma got you!" Worley-Roberts gently needled as she raked within the pot to rise to 57,000.
Salter, who dropped to 31,000, didn't respond but did say, "It's okay," after Worley-Roberts followed up with, "YOU'LL BE ABLE TO call me Momma should you like!" -- MC
5.55pm: Milde caught within the RaineLevel 8 - Blinds 400-800 (100 ante)
Two UK players we've not discussed much are Marcin Milde and Neil Raine. The latter is an internet grinder with just shy of $850,000 in tournament winnings under his screen name 'heffs976', let alone the near $250,000 he's picked up at the live felt as an ordinary at the UKIPT circuit and more. Meanwhile, Milde won the Sunday Million last year under the name 'Marcin123' for a whopping $230,614 - his second big win in that event, the primary of which came back in 2011 when he chopped it for $128,000.
The two players are sat right next to one another at the moment and just played a cheeky pot with one another from the blinds. Milde limped the 800 and Raine bumped it as much as 1,800, while Milde would call.
The flop was the 5♥Q♠7♥, which Raine continued on for 1,700 after it was checked to him. Milde went nowhere, taking us to the 6♣ at the turn. It was classic turn action - check check - so the K♣ came down at the river. Milde checked once more, and Raine put out a tiny bet of only one big blind (800). Even though it was cheap, it wasn't enough for Milde to call, as he threw his hand away.
Milde is currently sitting with 44,300, while Raine has 34,000. --JS

This Gale too weak to knock over Nikolaidi's stackLevel 7 - Blinds 300-600 (75 ante)
Gale blown away
The rich have become richer here in London. Irina Nikolaidi just took out John Gale to rise to around 135,000.
Gales raised from the hijack and collected three callers en path to a 7♦9♠6♦ flop. There has been around 9,000 within the middle and the action checked to Gale who moved all in for 12,500. Nikolaidi was within the small blind and she or he snap moved all in in addition when it was her turn to behave. All others folded.
Gale: A♦8♣ for an open ended straight draw.Nikolaidi: T♣8♦ for the flopped nuts.
The board ran out 2♦5♠ to make Gale a straight but it surely was too low. He wished everyone luck and trotted off. -- MC
4.20pm: For those we're lost...Level 7 - Blinds 300-600 (75 ante)
If this were an awards show, this may be the part where they show the black-and-white film of the entire individuals who have moved on recently. Prepare to get weepy, because here comes the list of bust-outs:

3.50pm: Palsson's not making friends but flushesLevel 6 - Blinds 250-500 (50 ante)
I'm sure he has a number of pals off the felt, but Daniel Palsson just won a pot that's certainly going to make Anthony Harnden consider carefully about being buddies.
Palsson kicked off the with an open to 1,100 which was called within the three spots, including both blinds. The flop had quite a lot of potential for calling hands, because it came the 9♥5♦8♦. It checked to Palsson who continued for 3,200, Harnden made the call, as did the player within the big blind. That took us to the 6♦ turn, which was definitely an action card.
Both the massive blind player and Palsson now checked to Harnden, who fired 6,000 into the center. The opposite player got out of how but Palsson went nowhere, instead choosing to jam his 19,375 stack. Harnden made a rapid call but will need to have been gutted to peer his 7♠9♠ for a straight was beaten by Palsson's A♦9♦ nut flush. The 6♠ river changed nothing.
Palsson ain't here to make more pals; he's here to make flushes. --JS

3.30pm: Voctor leaves opponent needing doctorLevel 6 - Blinds 250-500 (50 ante)
When a player leaves the tournament room in a hurry, taking their ID number card with them so we cannot identify them, it's always after they've busted in a manner they are not entirely proud of. For one player just now, this was entirely the case; his tournament coming to an end by the hands of Nadeeka Voctor.
There was around 5,000 within the pot when the flop came down, and although we missed the action it's safe to imagine there has been a normal open which were called by five players. The board showed the 8♣J♠A♣, and Voctor took the betting lead making it 2,800, which just one player called. The turn was then the 5♥, and now the bet from Voctor was 3,000. His opponent opted to boost it to 7,000 leaving himself just 6,450 behind. Voctor made the decision and the 2 saw a turn.
The 6♠ fell and Voctor threw out two blue 5,000 chips, putting his opponent all-in. It didn't take him long to call, and it took him even less time to exit the tournament area after he saw his A♠Q♠ was beaten by Voctor's A♥8♦.
While his opponent was left with a sick feeling, Voctor stacked up around 50,000 in chips. --JS

2.53pm: Nicolaou's brutal double takeLevel 5 - Blinds 200-400 (50 ante)
An interesting pot seemed like it was playing out over on Table 6, where there has been around 30,000 within the middle by the river. The board read the J♠5♦3♥3♦4♦, and Donal O'Connor had put out a raffle of 8,625. Nico Nicolaou had made the call, leaving himself just 7,000 behind, and the action was on Finn Stewart. For a minute it gave the look of he might raise, but it surely seems it was just calling chips he was counting. He slid them across.
O'Connor flipped over the 3♠4♠ for a runner-runner full-house, but Nicolaou hadn't quite caught it as he turned over the A♥2♥ for a straight love it was the winner. He quickly realised though, and let loose a large sigh. Stewart mucked and O'Connor raked within the massive pot. --JS
2.40pm: No WattageLevel 5 - Blinds 200-400 (50 ante)
Steve Watts' day as come to an end.
He told the blog he lost a large pot versus Daniel Knapp when he flopped top two pair. Knapp turned a straight though and the chips went in.
Watts then busted to Kevin Walshe when he shoved at the river with the board reading 2♣9♠5♥Q♠A♠. It was a case of bad timing though as Watts' T♠5♣ had fallen behind Walshe's A♣J♣ at the river. He wished everyone luck and went on his way. -- MC
Watts even made an effort for girls Day by wearing a hat
2.32pm: Done and dustedLevel 5 - Blinds 200-400 (50 ante)
A few of the players who've busted up to now on Day 1B include Marius Zalpys, Noel Broadbent, Graeme Milton Hibbert, Henryk Nowakowski, Dino Brivati, and Paula Lou Mcghie. --JS
2.22pm: Clock called; Wu waits wonderingLevel 5 - Blinds 200-400 (50 ante)
"Floor please, to table 9!" we heard the dealer shout, so we popped our heads over to peer what was up. It turned out Irina Nikolaidi was in a heads-up with Xinyu Wu; there has been roughly 30,000 within the pot, the board showed the K♥Q♣6♠5♠T♥, and Nikolaidi had checked to Wu at the river.
With no bet to call, Wu's decision was either check it back or make of venture. He'd been fascinated by it for thus long, though, that the clock were called (by whom I'm unsure), and he was told by the ground that he had one minute left to act.
He would eventually check, and Nikolaidi revealed her K♣J♣ for high pair. It was good for the win forcing Wu to muck. "Phew!" proclaimed a relieved Nikolaidi as she raked within the decent pot. --JS

1.53pm: Strong LAPT winner involves LondonLevel 4 - Blinds 150-300 (25 ante)
Last month I USED TO BE lucky enough to go to Chile for the LAPT tournament series, the winner of which was the fantastically-named Brazilian called Rodrigo Strong. He took down $120,565 for his victory in Vina del Mar.
Well, Strong is here amongst the action on Day 1B at UKIPT London. But before you think that "Crikey, Brazil to London is some distance to go", I WILL assure you that Strong currently resides in Barcelona.
He's an enchanting fellow with some offbeat poker habits - including getting up from the table in-between hands to whisper notes into his smart phone. Let's examine if Strong's techniques can lead him to his second major PokerStars Live event in two months. --JS

With the board showing the 3♥5♣6♥, John Gale checked it to Irina Nikolaidi who put out a 600 bet. That wasn't enough for Gale, who made it 1,800 to look a turn. Nikolaidi obliged and it came the 2♣, and now the bet from Gale was 3,300. It was called another time and the 2 saw the T♦ land at the river. Both checked and Gale showed his 6♠7♦ - adequate for the win. --JS

Deborah Worley-Roberts opened to 450, just for a male player to make it 1,500. If that wasn't enough, another dude then made it 3,900 to play. "Oh, boy," said Worley-Roberts, who had a hand she liked but needed to let it go. --JS

12.45pm: Three hands, three players, one tableLevel 3 - Blinds 100-200 (25 ante)
One table is getting greater than it's fair proportion of action; after finding a captivating hand to put in writing about, the following one was just as intriguing, so I USED TO BE forced to stay around. Eventually I needed to pull myself away and come back to my laptop to type them up.
The first of the 3 hands began with an open to 475 from Steve Watts, and both Finn Stewart and Dan Knapp called from the small and large blinds. The dealer put out the 4♦9♠T♦ flop, and it checked to Watts who continued for 875. Both players called, and the turn came the 6♠. It checked to Watts again, and this time the bet was 2,475, which Stewart called. Now Knapp decided to transport all-in for 26,200 - a tremendous shove for 174 big blinds. Both Stewart and Watts quickly folded.
The next hand went like this. It started with an open from Steve Watts again, which got three callers including Stewart and Knapp again. The flop came the A♣9♠7♠ and it checked back to Watts who made it 600, and this time only Finn Stewart called (he was the small blind position). The turn came the 7♣, and Stewart check-called again - this time a big gamble of 1,200. That took us to the 8♥ river, which Stewart would again check. Watts fired out 3,500 and Stewart called, but quickly mucked when Watts revealed his 5♣6♣ for a rivered straight.
The, finally, after Stewart had called bets from Watts both pre-flop and at the flop, the board read 6♣3♠9♣K♦. Watts fired for 1,700 which got a call, resulting in the T♠ river. Watts put out 6,350 and Stewart called, leading to a handy guide a rough muck from Watts as Stewart showed his A♥K♥ for the win. --JS
12.40pm: Thursday is girls day at UKIPTLevel 3 - Blinds 100-200 (25 ante)
At major horse race meets around the UK, you will see that that Thursdays are traditionally branded as Ladies Days. They assist bring a marginally of grace and magnificence to an industry that's (normally) very male dominated. Sound familiar?
There are seven (out of 80) ladies within the field today and that's the reason enough for us to (unofficially) name today Ladies Day at the UKIPT.
The last lady to take her seat was Maria Lampropulos, from Argentina. Lampropulos was on hot form this year, with two five-figure scores. The most important of those was for €95,404 when she finished second at Eureka6 Rozvadov a month ago. Who beat her to the title? None rather than her boyfriend, Ivan Luca! -- MC

A total of 75 players have taken their seats thus far on Day 1B, which means that there is not enough room in our main room. The ground staff have taken measures by opening up two extra rooms with tables in them.
In one room, there are just two tables and that's the reason where Team Online's Mickey Petersen, Richard Jones (3rd at UKIPT5 Nottingham) and professional Fantasy Premiere League player* David Docherty are available sitting.
Back often room, Paul Romain (who came 32nd on the recent UKIPT5 Dublin) and Steve Watts (who's a former professional footballer and tour regular) have taken their seats.
*Docherty is definitely a qualified poker player and just is having an (annoyingly) good season within the FPL game. -- MC

11.37am: Strong start for GaleLevel 1 - Blinds 50-100
The man we just wrote about - John Gale - has got off to an overly nice start. Picking up the action on a T♥J♦Q♥Q♣ board, two players checked to Gale and he put out a gamble of 2,100 right into a roughly 3,000 pot. Probably the most other players then made it 6,000 to go, leading to one fold but a decision from Gale.
The river was the 3♦ and both players opted to test. Gale flipped over the 8♠9♦ for a flopped straight, while his opponent's A♣T♠ was no good.
A great first orbit for Gale, who's as much as about 36,000 already. --JS

Green called a raise to 250 in conjunction with three other players and all took to a K♠7♣3♣ flop. The action was checked to Green who bet 600 after peering up from his device. Only the unique raiser called but he took folded to a 1,000 bet at the 6♠ turn. -- MC

One player in today's field who needs no introduction is Mr John Gale - but we are going to give him one anyway.
Gale is something of a British poker legend, and probably the most first faces this writer remembers from poker on TV when he won the PCA Main Event back in 2005 for $890,000. Gale has gone directly to amass an improbable $3.8 million in tournament winnings, including two WSOP bracelets - the second one of which he won last year.
Now, there wouldn't normally be anything surprising about that groovy; players win bracelets yearly. However the thing is that Gale were clear of the poker world for 3 years, coping with several serious medical issues including a brain tumour.
His triumphant return on the WSOP ended in him getting back at the felt in his homeland, playing his first ever UKIPT event in Bristol back in August. He told my colleague Marc Convey back then how much he enjoyed the event, and the way well run he thought UKIPTs were. He clearly meant it, because he's within the action here today.
Make sure you stick around to peer how Gale gets on throughout just today 1B. --JS
