Yesterday's third starting day of the 2019 888poker LIVE Festival London £1,100 Main Event, which kicked off at 6 p.m. local time ran until the early morning hours and a field of 111 unique players and 16 re-entries emerged at the Aspers Casino in Westfield Stratford City. The biggest flight thus far saw just 49 players bag up after 11 levels of 40 minutes each and there were joint chip leaders at the end.

Vikrum Mehta and William Miskelly both claimed 160,000 to their name while notables such as Chris Da-Silva (150,000) and Alfie Adam (144,000) follow close behind with top five stacks. Christos Xanthopoulos, who reached the final table of this very event one year ago, busted twice on Day 1b and jumped into the third flight to make it through with 139,500.

Further familiar faces of the poker scene that secured their ticket for Day 2 include Tobias Revenas (104,000), Michael Panteli (102,500), Nuno Duarte (80,000), Ronan Nally (77,500) and Carl-Fredrik Tingvall (37,500). Defending champion James Williams made it through with 64,500.

Among the 888poker ambassadors, Vivian Saliba (78,000) and Daria Feshchenko (13,500) also advanced.

Notables that came up short were Kastriot Shytani, Matthew Eardley, Marle Cordeiro, Neil Mahamdi, Sameer Singh, Nikolay Ponomarev, Neophytos Neophytou, Catherine Hanna, WSOP bracelet winner Carl Shaw and Enzo Del Piero. They all have another two chances to take a shot at the £500,000 guarantee as Day 1d gets underway at 1 p.m. local time and Day 1e with levels of 20 minutes each is scheduled for 7 p.m. local time.
