Flashback: Vincent Meli Wins 2023 UKIPT Nottingham Main Event
Niveau 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Last year in the PokerStars UKIPT Nottingham Main Event at Dusk Till Dawn, Vincent Meli of France emerged as the champion following a heads-up deal against Patrice Brandt.
A total of 1,227 entries were made across five starting flights, which generated a prize pool of £1,177,920. Of those, 185 players made it through to Day 2 to lock up the £1,650 min-cash. Ten players returned on Day 3 to compete for the title.
As soon as the tournament reached the final two players, a deal was made. Brandt came into the heads-up as chip leader and so took slightly more from the chop. The pair decided to leave £2,000 behind to play for, as well as the coveted PokerStars trophy.
