While the £250,000 guaranteed World Poker Tour UK High Roller and WPT500 UK were busy working their way towards crowning their respective champions, the £2,000+£200 buy-in WPT UK Main Event, featuring a £1 million guaranteed prize pool, kicked off in earnest and attracted 148 players through the welcoming doors of Dusk Till Dawn.
Over the course of 10 levels, each 60-minutes in length, almost two-thirds of the field had fallen by the wayside, leaving 56 players with the welcomed task of having to bag chips as the witching hour neared.
