12.52am: Joeri Zandvlient is the UKIPT Champion (£63,200)
It only took one hand of level twenty to find our champion and that man is Dutchman Joeri Zandvlient. All the chips went in pre-flop with Ellwood holding A♦Q♠ to Zandvlient's 9♥9♣.
The flop saw the Brit take the lead when it came 5♠6♠Q♠. The turn brought a sweaty 8♦ meaning any nine or seven would end it here.
The river came......9♦! to make Zandvlient's set making him the inaugural UKIPT Champion.
We must tip our hats to Jack Ellwood who was our 2nd place finisher and he take home£37,500 or his fine performance.
