Team PokerStars' Fintan Hand Crowned UKIPT Edinburgh Main Event Champion

The PokerStars UKIPT Edinburgh Main Event, running at Genting Casino Fountain Park, has reached its conclusion.

A total of 220 entries were made across three starting flights, which generated a prize pool of £211,200. Of those, 33 players made it through to Day 2 to lock up the £1,720 min-cash. By the end of a relatively short Day 2, six players were left in contention for the title.

Having turned professional during the COVID-19 pandemic after a short career in recruitment, and having briefly worked as a dealer in this very casino, Daniel Gormley went into the Final Day with a massive chip lead over his nearest rival.
