Martin Jacobson Goes From Short Stack to Champion in UKIPT Main Event (£232,300)

The £1,100 UKIPT Main Event at the PokerStars European Poker Tour London from the Hilton Park Lane hotel has come to an end after just over three hours of play on the final day. The finale of UKIPT's flagship event saw Martin Jacobson conquer the 1,458-entry field and win the grand prize of £232,300 which was the lions share of the £1,399,680 prize pool.

Jacobson’s win is his third official EPT victory but by far his largest as his previous ones came in side events in London in 2013 and in Vienna in 2014 for smaller amounts as he noted afterward.
