Das Main Event der UKIPT Nottingham ist vorbei. Es war eine UKIPT der Superlative. Exakt 1.223 Teilnehmer kämpften um den Titel sowie ein Gesamtpreisgeld von £1.223.000 und stellten damit einen neuen Rekord auf. Duncan McLellan war es letztendlich, der alle Kontrahenten hinter sich lassen konnte und sich gleichzeitig mit seinem Sieg in den annalen der UKIPT Geschichte verewigt.
Es war ein kurzes aber intensives Finale der UKIPT im Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham. So wurde am Finaltisch lediglich drei Stunden und 49 Minuten gespielt, ehe mit Duncan McLellan der frischgebackene Champion feststand. Neben einer begehrten Trophäe gab es für den 49-jährigen ein Preisgeld in Höhe von £202.372. Seinen Sieg kommentierte er mit den freudigen Worten: „I feel great, fantastic. I’m thrilled to bits!“
Es war bereits das zweite UKIPT Main Event das McLellan für sich entscheiden konnte. Seinen erster Erfolg liegt nicht lange zurück. Im vergangenen November bezwang er im Heads-Up PokerStars SportStar Fatima Moreira de Melo und sicherte sich damit seinen ersten UKIPT Titel sowie £94.090.
Aus deutschsprachiger Sicht war es Jonas Lauck, der am längsten im Turnier verweilte. Nachdem er bereits an den Vortagen immer wieder in den oberen Chipcountplatzierungen auftauchte, musste er sich schlussendlich auf Rang 20 an die Rails verabschieden.
