So Juan Manuel Pastor is the only hope for PS at the UKIPT to get another title for them? That must be sad on one side, having so few chances, but positive on the other, having one player spreading the word of PS with his jacket or hat with the logo. If he manage to get to the final table, he would have make a wonderful advertising job.

The record breaking field of 1,099 was reduced to 49 at UKIPT London, and Spanish player Sergio Aido ended the day with the biggest stack of 946,000. They play down to a final table tonight, where one player will eventually walk away with £156,800 for their £700+£70 investment. Tomorrow will also be the start of the biggest London event of the year, EPT London, also at the same venue of the Victoria Casino.
