UKIPT Nottingham Result, MPN Heading for London
McLellan Wins Second UKIPT Title
The finale of one of the largest UKIPT Main Events in the tour’s history got underway earlier today and despite Willie Elliot leading the way at the start of play it was Duncan McLellan who scooped the title.
When play began Elliot was able to take control in the early stages, but as the field began to thin and players fell by the wayside it was McLellan than improved his position.
Indeed, as the likes of Ryan Spittles and Elliot lost their stacks, McLellan took the event heads-up after eliminating Trevor Pearson in third place.
With more than half the chips in play now in his possession a deal was struck before the action resumed.
Leaving £34,000 on the table and taking a guaranteed £168,372, McLellan gradually pressured Angelo Milioto into submission before delivering a knockout blow to earn his second UKIPT title in just seven months.

1st. Duncan McLellan – £202,372
