Seat 2: Alan Gold, Scotland (Full Tilt Poker Qualifier) - 4,050,000

Alan Gold

Scotland's Alan Gold finished Day 1 of the Full Tilt Poker UKIPT Galway as the chip leader, and he will start the final table holding the same distinction. The 31 year old online poker pro has been playing poker for the better part of a decade, and although he plays primarily pot-limit Omaha cash on PokerStars, he qualified for the UKIPT Galway via Full Tilt Poker.

Gold flew in specifically to play the Main Event and credits a combination of playing good and running better for his success thus far, though he admits he is worried about Daragh Davey, who is to his direct left with the second biggest stack.

No matter where he finishes, Gold will notch his largest live score, blowing past his only other result of a 45th-place finish in January's UKIPT Edinburgh Main Event for 1,650. Gold is focused on the task at hand but has confirmed that he will be at future UKIPTs as well as the upcoming European Poker Tour Barcelona.
