Seat 1: Chris Swinden, Isle of Man (PokerStars Player) – 515,000
Chris Swinden, 39, an executive chef for the Sefton Group, won his seat in the UKIPT Isle of Man Main Event via a £50 Lads Night In charity evening satellite. He’s turned his first UKIPT experience into a three-dayer, making the final table in middling chip position after a relatively smooth journey, having only been all in once. Starting in home games around ten years ago, the Isle of Man resident was introduced to poker by his father-in-law and now plays live infrequently but regularly, including trips to Vegas where he plays mostly cash.
