Ice Cold Poker
The WSOPC Main Event is playing out in The Great Room at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London. And we don't think there's been a more appropriate name for a venue hosting the WSOP.
And it really is a Great Room.
If you want some trivia, it doesn't get much better than this.
When The Great Room first opened in 1929 it used to be an ice rink, and it's where the late Queen Elizabeth (and her sister Margaret) learned to skate as children.
If you want to picture the size of it, you can fit 111 London buses in here. That's more than one bus for every two poker players still left in Day 1C of the Main Event.
We're currently at 204 players left and the current chip leader is Vitalii Seman with 323,000.
