11.25pm: Standard Day 2 bustouts
Level 13 - Blinds 1,200-2,400 (300 ante)

There are two certainties in this world. The sun will rise in the morning and many players will bust early on Day 2 of a poker tournament.

Rolf Woods, Javier Souto, Edgar Drozdoc, Daniel Moosah, Jost Beifuns, Dainis Budovskis, Johannes de Hond, Kelvin Mullis, Uwe Ritter, Aleksander Spadijer, Anders Marstrander, Robert Haigh and David Roibal have already departed. -- MC

11.16pm: Should we remind Jim about the Norwegian Championships?
Level 13 - Blinds 1,200-2,400 (300 ante)

So Day 2 of #UKIPT I've drawn the runner up of 2014 #WSOP Main Event. I'll have to remind him he bottles it major tournaments then.

11.04am: And they're off!
Level 13 - Blinds 1,200-2,400 (300 ante)

It might be the Grand National today, but here in the Hippodrome we're racing towards the bubble. Cards are officially in the air, so place your bets! --JS

10.45am: All set for Day 2!

Day 2 is an exciting day here at the UKIPT6 London; it's the first time our entire field of 176 players will be in play at the same time, and at the end of the day we'll have a much clearer idea of who our finalists will be. Heck, we might even reach our final table today!

Here's the plan. We're going to play 10 one-hour levels, or stop play when we reach eight players - whichever comes first. There's a chance an extra level will be added on at the end of play if we're nearing the eight-player mark, just so we can get into the final table as quick as possible tomorrow.

Our chip leaders coming into the Day 2 are the players who topped Day 1C, Day 1A and Day 1B respectively. Xiaoyang Luo leads the pack with the 320,900 stack he amassed yesterday, followed by Xizhe Yuan with 286,000 and Irina Nikolaidi with 277,900.

Notable names coming through to play today include Jack Salter (265,000), David Docherty (161,500), James Mitchell (154,800), former November Niners Antoine Saout (114,800) and Felix Stephensen (113,500), Leo Margets (78,000), and breakout player of the year nominee Rainer Kempe (76,000).

One November Niner - Antoine Saout

We're predicting the bubble will burst during Level 15 or 16, resulting in all remaining players locking up a min-cash of £1,300. However, they'll all have their eyes set on the £84,100 first-place prize.

It's going to a day chock full of action - you won't want to miss it. --JS
