The PokerStars United Kingdom & Ireland Poker Tour continues today with the final flights of the Main Event. Running at Hippodrome Casino in Leicester Square, Day 1c gets underway at 12 p.m. local time, while Day 1d, which will be the final opportunity for players to bag, kicks off at 7 p.m.
Starting stacks for the tournament are 30,000, a generous 300 big blinds deep for the first level of 100/100/100. Blind levels are set to increase every 40 minutes, with a short break every three levels and a 45-minute dinner break following Level 6.
Players can take a maximum of two entries per flight and late registration remains open until approximately 10.15 p.m. All flights play down to 15 percent of the field and those who make it through will return to Day 2 in the money.

Fredrik Aasgaard raised to 400 from the button and Alexandru Boboc called in the small blind.
The flop came 9♦10♠9♥. Boboc checked and Aasgaard bet 300. Boboc check raised to 1,500 and Aasgaard called. Both players then checked it back on the 10♥ turn.
The river was the J♠ and Boboc led out for 2,500. Aasgaard raised it up to 11,000 and Boboc called. Aasgaard showed A♠10♦ for a full house, tens full of nines. Boboc mucked and Aasgaard won a huge pot early on.

Ioan Iordan Mugur raised to 600 from early position and Charles Yoo three-bet to 1,500 from the big blind. Mugur four-bet to 5,100 and Yoo five-bet to around 15,000. Mugur pushed all in and Yoo quickly called with slightly more chips.
Ioan Iordan Mugur: K♠K♦ 
Charles Yoo: A♦A♣
The board ran out 6♦J♦3♣K♥7♠. Yoo had aces, but Mugur made a set of kings on the turn and held to double up his stack. Yoo looked devestated as he pushed across most of his stack.
