11.20am: Where am I sitting?
Level 1 - Blinds 50-100

This is a question being asked a lot this morning. As we alluded to in the opening post, today is a busy day. So busy, in fact, that four different rooms/areas are packed with tables in anticipation of the busiest starting flight.

One of the areas - the first to break thankfully - is all the way over the other side of the casino, and up the stairs that transcend through the middle of the amazing Helliot Steak House. The walk is not a problem, getting back without stopping for a steak is! -- MC

11am: Shuffle up and deal
Level 1 - Blinds 50-100

Cards are in the air!

10.45am It's busy busy busy on Day 1C

Morning all! Entering the glorious Hippodrome Casino in London's Leicester Square this morning, there's a hustle and bustle about the place which we haven't seen so far. We're poised for a big field here on Day 1C of UKIPT6 London, and there's going to be some big names in there too.

Team PokerStars Pro Jake Cody will be amongst the action today, as will last year's London winner Rapinder Cheema, tour regular Angelo Milioto, PokerStars Live at the Hippodrome's ambassador Kelly Saxby, and European Poker Awards nominee Rainer Kempe.

Dara O'Kearney and Patrick Clarke will be repping the Irish contingent, while Diego Gomez is flying the Spanish flag (via the UK). Lawrence Bayley, who finished 3rd in the High Roller on Wednesday night, will also be taking his Main Event seat today.

All will be trying to build a big stack that they can take with them into tomorrow's Day 2 - which is currently led by Xizhe Yuan (286,400) and Irina Nikolaidi (277,900), our Day 1A and Day 1B end-of-play chip leaders.

It's sure to be a great day of action, so make sure you keep hitting the refresh button for all the latest . --JS
