Flink leads as field for £50K grows customarily huge

While all the attention in the banqueting suite of the Park Lane Hilton tonight was justifiably focused on the crucial bubble stages of the Triton Million for Charity tournament, another enormous event got under way only a few paces away.

Event #3 at the Triton Super High Roller Series London is a £50,000 buy-in event, which has already attracted 83 entries, including 29 re-entries. Registration is not yet even closed, but the prize pool is pushing £4 million. That’s an enormous total already, even if the massive event next door dwarfs everything by comparison.

The chip leader at this stage is Sweden’s Robert Flink, pictured above, but the tournament has so far to run that even he won’t be guaranteed of making the money. This event, which will resume at 3pm, is also scheduled to wrap up tomorrow, but it’s certain to run deep into the night.

Here’s the latest chip counts, with Day 2 seat draw below.
