Le Tops UKIPT Blackpool Main Event, Wins £53,630

The UKIPT Blackpool Main Event, hosted by PokerStars at Grosvenor Casino, nestled in The Sandcastle, has now drawn to a close.

The competition saw an impressive tally of 262 participants across the initial three stages, generating a hefty £258,990 in prize money. From this robust group, a mere 40 contenders managed to sail into the second day, each pocketing at least £1,710, the event’s minimum cash prize.

The field of 40 was gradually diminished to the final six players, who came back to the table for the event’s third and last day of poker warfare.

UK’s own Tuan Le led the charge into Day 3, holding the position of the chip leader. Le played his hand skillfully throughout the day, building on his impressive chip stack to secure his spot as the uncontested victor, taking home the grand prize of £53,630.

Ali Zia proved to be a resilient player, holding firm throughout the day’s events. His consistent gameplay paid off when Teodor Evstratiev and Le clashed in a high-stakes standoff. This situation allowed Zia to climb up the ranks and secure second place, netting a comfortable £23,730. Evstratiev, after his thrilling faceoff with Le, bagged the third spot and a payout of £33,230.
