It's time for the Final Day of what has been an epic PokerStars UKIPT London Main Event. The Hippodrome Casino has been packed from floor to ceiling to accomodate 725 entries over the course of the tournament and there are now just 13 players remaining in contention for the title and their share of the £696,000 prize pool.
Everyone who returns has already locked up at least £7,950, with the eventual winner set for a payday worth £127,600.
Gaspare Sposato of Italy returns as chip leader at the start of the Final Day after bagging 3,325,000 chips. Sposato is a poker pro who plays online and has more recently been trying his hand on the live circuit. He's now setup for his biggest recorded live cash of all time.
