£1,100 UKIPT Main Event
Day 1c Completed
The third flight of the £1,100 UKIPT Main Event at the PokerStars European Poker Tour London in the Hilton Park Lane hotel has come to an end for the day after almost 14 and a half hours of play.
The flight attracted the largest amount out of all of the flights as a whopping 703 entries entered. The field played down to 105 before the remaining players bagged up their chips to advance to Day 2. Those players will join the survivors from Days 1a, 1b and 1d to make for 218 total advancing to Day 2.
Leading the way after Day 1c was Kayhan Mokri who bagged up 605,000. The Norwegian made a big splash back in August in the EPT Barcelona Main Event where he finished in sixth for over € 330,000.
Right after Mokri was Ludovic Geilich with 592,000, then a bit of a drop off before Julien Loire with 553,000 and Daniel Ghionoiu with 549,000 right behind him.
Well-known UK player, Conor Beresford was able to finish with the fifth biggest stack of 531,000 after he had a strong last couple of levels to swell his stack heading into Day 2.
