British pro Tom Middleton has taken down the GUKPT Blackpool Main Event after a three-way chop with Tom Hall and Richard Kellett. It was another great turnout in Blackpool for the main event, which garnered a prize pool of €251,000. Of the 251 entries, 17 players made their way back to the final day with their eyes on first place.
Middleton, who shot to fame on the live poker circuit when he took down EPT Barcelona in 2013, went into the final table as the chip leader and kept the lead for almost the whole final. Jeff Kimber, who has a long history of making GUKPT final tables, finished fourth for £18,570 and once they were down to three-handed, the players decided to just chop it up. Middy took £56,255 for first along with the trophy, while Tom Hall received £52,990 and Kellett got £36,825.
