2017 888Live Poker Festival London
With the next break approaching there have been a flurry of bust outs and they have just broken a table with 29 players left with chips.
Ion Albu has the biggest stack in the tournament and is beginning to pull away from the chasing pack.

For the first time in 888Live tournaments Aspers will see the introduction of the Shot Clock.
Once the dealer has dealt the last card in a hand they operate the timer with a pedal and the 'Shot Clock' begins and each player will be given a certain amount of time to act.
If a player is facing a bet or raise, the timer will begin only after their chips are counted and the number of chips required to call are stated. Players will also be allotted a certain number of time extensions, each of which will add an extra thirty seconds to the timer in the event that they need more time to reach a decision.
You can read more about the Shot Clock which will be used in both the High Roller and the Main Event later in the Festival.
There will be 12 players paid and a min-cash will pay out £180.
Top prize is £2,523.

A three-way all in saw Olly Durham table and he was up against and .
The player with threes called for a queen, the player with kings looked pretty disgusted and a nervous Durham looked on hoping to scoop a huge pot.
The boar ran out .
A queen on the flop led to some excitement but it was immediately snuffed out as the ace hit as well.
