Two of three starting days at the 2013 PokerStars UK and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) Nottingham Main Event are in the books. A total of 194 players have entered the tournament so far and 78 of them have made it through to Day 2. The current overall chip leader is Mitch Johnson (picture), from nearby Derby, who bagged up an impressive 171,500 at the end of Day 1A.

Poker legend Dave "Devilfish" Ulliot and Alan Gold, the 2013 Full Tilt Poker UKIPT Galway Main Event winner, are two of the most interesting players that will join Johnson for Day 2 this Saturday. Hopefully there will be a a few more interesting names in the mix after Day 1C concludes tonight.

A big congratulations to Alan Gold of Scotland, the champion of the Full Tilt Poker UK and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) Galway Main Event! Gold, who qualified for the event through a satellite at Full Tilt Poker, brought the largest stack to the final table, which was played yesterday, and it only took about four hours of play until he was the last man standing. It was one of the fastest final tables in UKIPT history.
