First ever WPT London started yesterday with a £5,300 buy-in main event at Mayfair’s Palm Beach Casino. There’s also a £15,000 High Roller event held after the main event, which will probably attract a lot of professionals from all over the world.

There was a huge list of familiar names playing on the day 1A, and after the play was over for the day, Erik Seidel had the biggest stack on his 100th WPT tournament. Erik ended up having a 226,200 chip stack.

Also Phil Ivey played strong and ended up fourth with 146,200 chips.
