UKIPT NOTTINGHAM: UPSET SPECIAL - BAGULEY TAKES WHAT'S HIS, WINS UKIPT TITLE

PICTURE: POKERSTARS

What an exciting final table today at the Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham, England. Iqbal Ahmed continued to be the story as we were trying to find the next UKIPT Champion.

Ahmed did dominate the headlines. He entered final table play with a significant lead but lost his lead during the day ... but, have no fear, Ahmed (2012 PTPR Rank: T-51st) grabbed the chip lead back from hsi opponents, eliminating two straight players and once heads up, Ahmed had a little over 2 to 1 chip lead - this thing was in the bag.

Well, not so fast! Robert Baguley wasn't about to let Ahmed walk all over him. If fact, early during heads up play, Baguley took the chip lead, and never looked back.

Robert Baguley (2012 PTPR Rank: 20th) is the latest winner on the UKIPT tour - and he collects a healthy paycheque ... over 210K GBP for the victory.
