Noch nie gab es ein so großes Pokerevent in London. 491 Spieler traten am dritten Starttag der PokerStars UKIPT im Grosvenor Victoria Casino an und sorgten abermals für ein volles Haus. Insgesamt sind es somit 1.099 Starter, was die UKIPT zum größten Pokerevent in der Geschichte Londons macht.
Zu Beginn des £ 770 Main Events hoffte man auf 1.000 Spieler und tatsächlich konnte man die Rekordmarke knacken. Damit sind es £ 746.221, die auf die ersten 144 Plätze aufgeteilt werden. Der Min-Cash bringt £ 1.200, der Sieger wird mit £ 156.800 nach Hause gehen.
Der dritte Starttag war der stärkste und auch die deutschsprachige Beteiligung war am höchsten. Wojtek Barzantny, der mit seinen Siegen bei der UKIPT Online und Bristol Geschichte geschrieben hat, war auch in London am Start, ebenso Matthias Gude, Aleksandar Abutovic, Julian Stuer, Sebastian Gohr, Martin Finger, Isi Bojang, Maurice Schepp, Marvin Rettenmair, Amir Mozaffarian und viele andere. Das Team PokerStars Pro war mit Matthias und Christophe de Meulder, Juan Manuel Pastor, Johnny Lodden, Liv Boeree, Jake Cody und Charlotte van Brabander angetreten.
Wie schon an den Tagen zuvor wurde das Feld stark ausgesiebt und nach elf Levels waren von den 491 Spielern nur noch 117 übrig. Den Tagessieg konnte sich einmal mehr Wojtek Barzantny sicher, der gleichzeitig mit seinen 275.900 Chips auch als Chipleader in Tag 2 geht. Von den angetretenen Deutschen schafften es nur noch Marvin Rettenmaier, Ismael Bojang, Waldemar Essig, Matthias Gude und Dirk Markmann, sich in Tag 2 zu spielen.
Insgesamt sind es nun 248 Spieler, die heute in Tag 2 gehen und die 144 bezahlten Plätze jagen. Wojtek Barzantny ist mit einem respektablen Vorsprung Chipleader, aber auch Marvin Rettenmaier und Ismael Bojang haben eine sehr gute Ausgangsposition.
