Fintan Hand wins UKIPT Edinburgh
He couldn't let Spraggy have the bragging rights for too long as a second consecutive Stars streamer wins a UKIPT Main Event.
A PokerStars streamer 1-2 in the United Kingdom as a few weeks after Ben Spragg wins UKIPT Brighton, Fintan Hand wins UKIPT Edinburgh.
'Fintan and Spraggy' got their start as PokerStars streamers as something as a double act, and that trend continued in Scotland, as Spraggy also made the final table.
He exited in 6th place leaving Hand to take it down for £44,200, defeating Daniel Gormley heads-up. There were 220 entries for the £1,000 Main Event as part of the returning PokerStars live regional series.
"It’s nice whether it's for 500, 5,000, or £44,000," said Fintan. “And that's my biggest score ever. I've not played a lot of live poker. So to win a tournament and beat my best score is fantastic."
