At midday on Saturday, 97 players returned to the Villa Marina Arcade Harris Promenade for Day 2 of the Season 5 UKIPT Isle of Man Main Event. After the completion of 10 hour-long levels, all but eight of them lost their chips, some in spectacular fashion, leaving the tournament with only one table of players in contention for the £26,600 first place prize.
