The 888poker LIVE Coventry double-header is off to a flying start, with the £560 UK Poker League (UKPL) Main Event crowning its champion over the weekend. The total of 224 entries created a £106,390 prize pool, with Jamie Morris coming out on top, capturing £19,831 after a three-way deal, the largest score of his career to date.
Thirty-five of the entrants saw a return on their investment. National Poker League (NPL) Player of the Year contenders Calogero Morreale and Callum Gordon were among the first to cash. 888poker ambassador Nick Eastwood, Tom Bacon, two-time GUKPT champion Christopher Johnson, Mitch Johnson, and final table bubble boy Yucel "Mad Turk" Eminoglu also padded their bankrolls.

Keith Johnson had Tu Vuong all in and covered, with the cards on their backs.
Tu Vuong: A♥6♣ 
Keith Johnson: Q♠Q♣
The 6♠3♥5♠9♥A♣ board left Vuong with top pair on the river, cracking Johnson's queens to survive again and double his stack.
Johnson was quickly at risk shortly after but also survived to climb back to the starting stack.

Brandon Harris opened to 3,000 from under the gun and was called by Joshua Woolridge in the small blind. Anthony Field defended his big blind and the dealer turned over the 4♥3♠5♣ flop.
Woolridge and Field checked to Harris, who fired 6,000 into the middle.
That earned a quick pot, as both blinds folded while Harris climbed over the 100,000 chip mark.
