The Final Table has been set at UKIPT Galway and Canadian Nick Abou Risk is looking for the triple!
Abou Risk (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) is the defending champion - winning the event in December of 2010 ... he also won UKIPT Edinburgh in August of 2010 - Abou Risk is seeking his third UKIPT title in 18 months - quite the accomplishment.
However, Abou Risk does have a lot of work in front of him. At 647K - about 1.8M chips behind the leader - Abou risk will need to move early in order to get back into contention.
GILLIGAN CONTINUES STRONG START TO 2012
The chip leader heading into Final Table play is Ronan Gilligan. Gilligan (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) is no stranger to the big stage in 2012 - Gilligan finished third last month at the inaugural WPT Ireland Main Event.
Gilligan's chip stack almost doubles those of John Willoughby, who sits second. Will Gilligan's lead be too much for his opponents? Find out on Monday.
