The £2,200 High Roller of the 2017 PokerStars Festival London saw 47 hopefuls out of a 178-entry strong field return to the tables of the iconic Hippodrome Casino. It soon became obvious that the plan to finish the event in two days would become a challenge. Due to the extremely big turnout, it was decided to determine the champion via an additional tournament day on January 26th.
Yuriy Boyko started the day in the lead 13 spots off the money, and the Irishman will be returning tomorrow as the short stack of 20 big blinds with only five players remaining.
