Quadruple Up for Sidhu

Christian Zetzsche

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Four ways to the flop, the action checked to Kin Luu and he bet 2,300. Cameron Cunningham then jammed for 18,400 in the cutoff and Kully Sidhu called all-in for 14,400 on the button. Edwar Saade in the big blind called and Luu then reshoved for 46,400, which forced out Saade (who mentioned to have folded the top two pair).

Kully Sidhu:
Cameron Cunningham:
Kin Luu:

The flopped straight of Sidhu improved to a flush on the turn and river to secure the quadruple up while Cunningham won the small side pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kully Sidhu	65,000 65,000	65,000
Eddie Saade	50,000 50,000	50,000

Triple Knockout for Jordon

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : 100/300, 300 ante

Soon after the double for Kanan Farzaliyev, the very same table brought more fireworks and none other than Terry Jordon looked up three shorter stacks in a four-way all-in. The biggest stack of around 18,000 belonged to Colin Paddington, while Gary Tan and Carlos Estivill were also involved as well.

Carlos Estivill:
Gary Tan:
Colin Paddington:
Terry Jordon:

The flop brought some magic Jordon as he flopped the straight. Nothing changed on the turn and the river secured the triple knockout for Jordon. "Five high like a boss," the Brit joked as he raked in the pot with a big grin on the face.

Player	Chips	Progress
Terry Jordon	125,000 55,000	55,000
Carlos Estivill	Busted

Two Flights Remain to Qualify for Day 2 of the 2022 PokerStars UKIPT £1,100 Main Event

Christian Zetzsche

More than five years after one of the most popular regional PokerStars branded tours took place the last time, the United Kingdom and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) has returned to one of its most iconic locations. The Hippodrome Casino in London has hosted the relaunch of the series since April 1, 2022, and the marquee event on the schedule got underway yesterday.

Day 1a of the 2022 UKIPT London £1,100 Main Event drew a total of 191 entries of which 31 players bagged and tagged chips for Day 2. All those that didn't make it or any poker enthusiasts from near and far have another two chances in order to join the Day 1a survivors.

As of noon local time, Day 1b gets underway in the new tournament room on the ground floor and it will feature a total of 13 levels, each lasting 50 minutes. The late registration period is open until the end of level 10 and following break. During that time, players can purchase up to two re-entries if they run out of chips. All participants receive 30,000 in chips, which is good enough for 300 big blinds in the first level with blinds of 100-100 and a big blind ante of 100.

While the early starting time may perhaps not fancy those still busy with the day job, the turbo heat 1c is kicking off at 6pm local time. The very same 13 levels will be played but the duration is cut down to 30 minutes each and both starting days should conclude around 1 a.m. local time.

All PokerNews updates will focus on Day 1b and the final chip counts for both flights will be published upon completion of the card festivities. Stay tuned for what shapes up to be a very busy day at the Hippodrome Casino with hundreds of poker players from near and far in contention.
