Main Event chips are in the air on Day 1b

We're underway here at the Fox Poker Club and there's no shortage of talent from which to choose your fantasy poker team.

One time November niner James Akenhead and bracelet winner Willie Tann the biggest named pros in today's field, but ParadisePoker sponsored players like Carlos Oliveira and Łukasz Gębica will be keen to take the Brit on.

Oliveira (pictured) was delighted to see the ParadisePoker Tour attracting such well-known pros, "It's great to have players of that calibre coming to this event because it's a good tournament.

"First prize should be around £30,000 so it's a great one to win - everybody needs that sort of money, even sponsored professionals!

"I've never played against him but obviously I know the name James Akenhead and I've seen him at some other big poker events, so he's a known player and that's great news.

"In Portugal we had a number of the big name professionals locally that played, so it's good to be part of something that's growing into an established event that attracts the best players."

Update - WSOPE bracelet winner Scott Shelley is also in today's field. Full list of players to follow, so get ready to make your fantasy poker picks.
