The 2015 UKIPT Marbella Main Event played down to its final table of eight on Saturday afternoon and there’s a familiar face among those eight finalists: British star Sam Grafton.
During Season 4 of the UKIPT, in June 2014, Grafton reached the unofficial final table of the Main Event in Marbella. Sadly for him, Grafton never got out of second gear and fell in ninth place for a €10,300 score. This season, Grafton is guaranteed a larger score courtesy of eighth place being worth €14,100, and nobody would bet against the talkative pro going all the way and collecting the €150,800 first place prize.
