A Champion Will be Crowned in the 2022 PokerStars UKIPT London £1,100 Main Event

The 2022 PokerStars UKIPT London £1,100 Main Event will draw to a conclusion today at the Hippodrome Casino in the heart of the English capital. Out of a field of 645 entries, only 16 players remain and they will aim to secure the biggest slice of the £619,200 prize pool.

Leading the way to claim the first UKIPT Main Event title in almost five and a half years is the UK's Joshua Boulton with a stack of 3,350,000. There is already a notable gap to second-placed Julien Sitbon (2,385,000) and Antoine Saout, who occupies the final spot on the overnight podium with a stack of 2,185,000.

Local resident Alexios Zervos is also among the bigger stacks 1,580,000 and cash game specialist Dongze Hao (1,535,000) follows fewer than two blinds behind.

As can be expected, most of the finalists are hailing from the UK and that does also apply for the former EPT London Main Event finalist Kully Sidhu (840,000) and PokerStars ambassador Ben Spragg (540,000).
