Day 2 of UKIPT London Main Event was stuffed with excitement because the remaining 323 players were shrunk all the way down to 51 over the process eight one-hour levels. Former heavyweights fell by the wayside, new players moved up the pecking order and a tour favourite became the bubble girl.
Vladimir Troyanovskiy have been showing off his guns on the top of the EPT bill for many years now. His focus, patience and talent to get inside opponents' minds have seen him amass greater than $2.6 million in tournament earnings. He used all his skill -mixed in with somewhat luck - to surge to the highest of the counts today with 1,399,000, far beyond anyone else.
He used his patience to get into the money after which he took off. He won a large race soon after the bubble burst, made an enormous call with ace-high to bust an opponent after which was lucky to bust another when he made a suite with jacks to crack the kings of a neighbour. From then on it was power poker the entire way.
Other players through to Day 3 are: Antonio Gonzalez (930,000), Alessandro Piekazewicz (886,000), Lukas Peleckis (725,000), Pablo Fernandez (695,000), Nikolas Davies (635,000), David Lichentin (565,000), Lucas Blanco (560,000), Nick Crozer (562,000), Thomas Dunwoodie (549,000), Eric Theissen (489,000), Chris Sly (391,000), Ludovic Geilich (372,000), Gabriel Tuna (361,000), Jason Barton (309,000), Caicai Huang (292,000), Brett Angell (256,000), Gino Levrini (200,000) and Keith Hawkins (183,000).
PokerStars Team SportStar Fatima Moreira De Melo played her fourth ever UKIPT here in London and banked her fourth cash. Her day came to an lead to 59th place after her pocket jacks didn't stay prior to Dunwoodie's big-slick, all in pre flop. Her Benelux teammate, Matthias De Meulder also cashed (111th) but two all in showdowns in succession did for him, although he was ahead both times.
Hand for hand play was avoided at the bubble through the second level of the day after Deborah Worley-Roberts - one of the vital life and souls of the tour - called all in with two pair at the river just for her opponent to open an entire house and send her on her way. "That's poker!" said the UKIPT Cork finalist before she headed off into the brilliant lights and noises of this great city.
Many notable names came back but in addition didn't cash. They included: Full Tilt Poker Ambassador Ben Jenkins; Team PokerStars Pro ElkY; former PCA champ Dimitar Danchev; Team PokerStars Online Vicente Delgado; former UKIPT champions Joeri Zandvliet, Max Silver and Jamie Burland; top pro Shannon Shorr and previous November Niner Sylvain Loosli.
The remaining players may also be happy that the next players made the cash but won't be of their way tomorrow: Katja Spillum Svendsen (152nd), Pratyush Buddiga (123rd), , Roberto Romanello (119th), Chris Brammer (117th), Dominik Panka (96th) and David Peters (67th).

For anyone planning on playing any events over the following few days are in for a treat on the EPT London Poker Festival: two of the hippest mobile food trucks within the capital might be offering their delicious fodder to players immediately outside the Grand Connaught Rooms. The primary to reach in Great Queen Street is Yu Kyu. This Japanese tonkatsu mobile food kitchen, which was winning fans everywhere in the country this summer, may be at EPT London on Saturday and Sunday. Deep fried pork is a signature staple! On Monday and Tuesday, South African street food sensation Bunny Chow could be making an appearance. Bunny Chow is fast food dish inclusive of a hollowed-out loaf of bread full of curry and originated within the Durban Indian community back within the 1940s.
