Congratulations to Fintan Gavin who won the side event at last weekend's UKIPT tournament in Manchester.
Fintan had blown a good chip position in the main event and celebrated at the bar. Next day the ony way Fintan could face his hangover was to sit quietly in the £300 Side Event. All-in with AQ against fellow-Irishman Allen McLean's AK on the bubble the Loughgeorge Mauler spiked a Queen and 15 minutes later was chip leader and never looked back. After a deal Fintan collected £9000.
