Word reaches me that Sky Poker regular Jonathon Titcombe, aka "5toneface", & a member of the Swindon Massive, is the overnight Leader in the DTD £300.
The average is approx 70,000, I think, & blinds are 1,500-3,000 (+ 300 RA) when they return - he has 240,000.
Amongst the 39 returning for Day Two are WSOP Bracelet winner Lawrence Gosney (139,000), & the legend that is Micky Wernick (81,000).
Yucel Eminoglu is amongst those making Day Two. He's known as "Mad Turk". I'm not sure where he got that name from, but he's as mad as a box of frogs, & comes from Turkey. Great character.
lJAMESl & FlashFlush both perished in the Day One carnage, as did Sam Trickett, who flew straight in from the EPT Portugal Final Table (won by Toby Lewis), & lasted exactly 3 hands!
Good luck to 5toneface today, get it won man. The first prize is about £26,000, I believe.
