Day 1b of the Unibet Open London 2017 Main Event Starts at 11 a.m.
Welcome to the second starting day of the Unibet Open London 2017 Main Event! Yesterday, 154 hopefuls already clashed at the green felt, with old stalwarts and young up-and-comers alike battling it out. 41 of them survived the day, with Britain's Giulio Mascolo holding the end-of-the-day chip lead with 327,600 in chips.
Today, an even bigger field is expected, with many notables ready to try and become the first Unibet Open winner of the tenth season. Sporting hero and worlds #1 darts player Michael van Gerwen will be one of the players to take a seat today. Van Gerwen won a staggering 25 darts events last year and currently holds all seven major ranking titles. A Unibet Open title is missing from his stacked mantlepiece, but the Dutch juggernaut is no slouch at the tables and will be looking to expand his trophy collection.
Unibet Open Cannes winner Quentin Lecomte, Unibet Open Bucharest winner Traian Bostan and Unibet Ambassadors Ian Simpson, Dara O'Kearney and David Lappin are also scheduled to appear on Day 1b. They will be joined by eSports heroes Thijs "Thijs" Molendijk and Fabien "KioShiMa" Fiey, who will have their Twitch-following on high alert (edit 11:40 - Fiey will not be competing as his CounterStrike team needs to prepare for an upcoming tournament.)
Last but not least, both Will Kassouf and Griffin Benger will enter the tournament. The pair played an instantly famous hand during last summer’s World Series of Poker Main Event when Kassouf was called out by Benger for verbal abuse. The video, in which Benger eventually ended up eliminating Kassouf with aces versus kings, attracted millions of views on YouTube and became the stand-out moment of the series.
Today will feature ten levels of 60 minutes each, with a dinner break scheduled after level 6 (around 5:30 p.m. local time). Late registration will be open up until the start of level 7. All players will start with 30,000 in chips and the tournament is in a freezeout format. PokerNews will be on the floor in The Poker Room in the Grosvenor Casino to provide live coverage of all the action.

On a 
board, the pot was already up to 10,000 with action on Kjetil Froytland. The Norwegian bet 6,500, which sent his opponent Liam Benton deep in the tank.
After three minutes of thought, Benton surprisingly elected to raise to 16,500, putting the pressure back on Froytland. The Norwegian considered it for a minute, then surrendered his hand.
