Leslie Packer bagged big as 32 players survived from the 216 entrants in Day 1a of the GGPoker £560 United Kingdom Poker Championship Main Event at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham.
Packer won a huge pot towards the end of the day as he overbet all in on the river against Harry Eden. Eden made the call but it was no good as Packer turned over a full house to take the end of day chip lead.
