UKIPT Edinburgh to Play Down to Final Table on Day 2, Gajathan Kamalanathan Leads
The PokerStars UKIPT Edingburgh Main Event, running at Genting Casino Fountain Park, continues today. Day 2 of the event starts at 1 p.m. local time. Out of 220 entries across three flights, 33 players are set to return to the felt as the tournament plays down to the final table.
Players who made it through are already in the money, with payouts to be announced once the tournament resumes. The total prize pool for the event is £211,200.
Gajathan Kamalanathan of Scotland leads the pack with 669,000 chips. Kamalanathan came first in a Goliath event last year and has plenty of final table cashes at local events and beyond. He'll be looking to utilize his advantage and lock up another significant score as the Main Event continues.
Not far behind him is PokerStars Team Pro player Fintan Hand, who chipped up near and on the bubble on Day 1b to bag up 606,000 chips.

PokerStars qualifiers Mantas Urbonas and David Docherty - the latter now certain to be crowned UKIPT Player of the Year - are both through, as are influencer Elliot Hackney, Silver Pass winner Thomas Page, and Irish poker legend Chris Dowling, who made it through to Day 2 on his sixth bullet.
Day 2 will resume part way the 3,000/6,000/6,000 level. Blind levels will then run for 60-minutes, with regular breaks throughout. Day 2 will play down to the final table, possibly to the final six players.
PokerNews will be bringing you live updates straight from the tournament floor as the event plays deeper into the money.

It's time to shuffle up and deal. Day 2 of the Main Event is underway.
Flurry of Early Bustouts
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
In a flurry of early exits, Finlay Mackenzie got it in good, only to fall behind when Daniel Gormley paired up on the turn.
David Docherty was next to go, falling to Fintan Hand within the first ten minutes of the tournament resuming when Fintan paired his king on the flop. He is reportedly heading back to bed.
Next to go was Lawrence Bury, who busted in 31st place, followed by Ankit Ahuja and then Felix Schneiders.
