Season 2 of the UK & Ireland Poker Tour drew to a close with a glittering finale at EPT London. The big winner was Germany’s Benny Spindler who beat 690 other players to claim the title and a massive £750,000 in prize money. The total prize pool for the event was £3,351,350, as the best players from the UK and Ireland battled the world’s top players for glory.
