Josh Hart defeated a field of 402 players over five days of play to win the 2014 PokerStars UK and Ireland Poker Tour Isle of Man (located in the Irish Sea between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland - PokerStars has its headquarters there) Main Event. Hart, a 24-year old online pro from England, collected £57,484 and the Isle of Man UKIPT trophy for his victory.
"It feels pretty good," Hart told PokerStarsblog
"It's great to have the support from everyone," he said of his supporting friends on the rail.
"My strategy coming into the final was to let players like Geilich and Gavin play some splashy poker and hopefully lose some chips whilst I just wanted to play solid poker."
"Really I ran pretty good," he admitted.
