David "Devilfish" Ulliott, one of the more popular players in the field, has just been eliminated from the tournament over at the secondary feature table.
We're not sure when the money went in (we think it was preflop), but we do know that Ulliott held the against the of Greece's Georgios Karakousis. The flop was safe enough for Ulliott, though it did give Karakousis a gutshot wheel draw, but it was the turn that would do the Devilfish in.
Karakousis paired his ace and left Ulliott in need of an eight on the river to stay alive. The was not what he was looking for and Ulliott made a gracious exit from the tournament floor, even stopping to shake hands with a few fans.
Leon “Flippetyflop“ Louis, 27, UK - WCOOP Main Event final tablist
Leon "Flippetyflop" Louis has had a good run of form. Not only did he cash in the UKIPT a few days ago (40th, £2,610) which is nice in of itself, but he came in off the back of an 8th place finish in the WCOOP Main Event for $159,975.
Louis is still flip-flopping his way through this £5,250 Main Event field with the bubble just about to appear on the horizon. You can follow his progress through our live updates or, more personally, at @Flippetyflopuk. He’s a Supernova Elite. Specialises in Heads up Hyper Turbos and used to play 50-60 hours per week but has been trying to cut that down to get a better work/life balance.
Ludovic Geilich won UKIPT Marbella in June for € 130,000 - huge field of 763 players. He's been playing poker for ten years, five years full time. He has a German mother and Scottish father and has lived in Scotland all his life but has a lot of German family. He mainly plays online MTTs with the occasional dabble into Limit Hold’em cash, although he spurns tracking software and HUDs as not being in the spirit of the game. His biggest live result until he won UKIPT Marbella was for £7,830 in a £300 GUKPT side event in Walsall. Online he’s chopped The Bigger $22 on PokerStars for $14,000. Before turning to poker full time, Geilich was a proficient snooker player, but the difficulty of the game means that going back after a break is not possible in a serious manner; he now focuses mainly on the virtual felt.
With 100,000 or so in the pot and a board reading , Joey Lovelady bet 45,000 from the big blind only to have Andy Moseley raise to 110,000 from the cutoff. Lovelady thought for awhile before making the call, and he regretted it as Moseley rolled over the for a full house.
"Shitty call," Lovelady chastised himself and flashed the .
Of the 45 players that originally signed up for the Skrill Last Longer competition in the Main Event, just two remain. Who will be the Last Man Standing? Will it be Ryan Yu (Canada) or Leo McClean (UK)? Only time will tell.
For those unfamiliar with the promotion. The Skrill Last Longer competition will be held at each stop on this season’s EPT, of which they’re an official sponsor. The promotion is simple – players sign up for the promotion either online (preregistration is available) or at the Skrill booth (which will be present at each stop); don a Skrill patch; and then aim to be the last man or woman standing. The last player remaining will then receive the £5,250 buy-in back in their Skrill account.
While Skrill is upping the ante for Season 10 with a bigger branding initiative, this isn’t their first appearance on the EPT; as a matter of fact, they were a sponsor of Season 8 and have held previous “Last Longer” promotions.

Just before the break, Gino Gabriel was eliminated from the feature table by Shannon Shorr.
We picked up the action on a flop after Gabriel had gotten his stack of 247,000 all in holding the and was up against the of Shorr. "I need to hit," Shorr said, and he had a decent chance at it as he was drawing to 12 outs twice.
The turn didn't do it, but the river did. Shorr made a flush and a disappointed Gabriel saw his day come to an abrupt end.
In the very next hand after eliminating Dimitrios Farmakoulis, Robin Ylitalo scored another knock out.
It happened when action folded to Ylitalo on the button and he raised to 16,000. Paul Berende then shoved all in for roughly 170,000 from the small blind, the big folded, and Ylitalo made the call.
Ylitalo:
Berende:
The table seemed a bit surprised that Ylitalo woke up with yet another quality hand, but as it was he was racing against Berende. There's no denying Ylitalo has been running well, and this hand would be no different as the board ran out a safe . Ylitalo chipped up to 1.6 million while Berende was eliminated from the EPT10 London Main Event.
