Day 1c of the UK and Ireland Poker Tour 2023 Season Finale, running at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham, has now concluded. A total of 277 entries were made. Of those, 42 players made it through the flight to Day 2 and into the money.
Jack Nolan of the UK finished as Day 1c chip leader, way out in front with 639,500 chips. Nolan already had a huge stack and continued to raise almost every hand during the bubble to cement his position. He has had a couple of five-figure scores during his time as a live player, and is now on course for a career-best result.
Nolan is now the overall chip leader after overtaking Day 1b leader Adam McKola.
Bagging up in second place was Jason Riley, who finished the flight with 458,000. Sitting in third place is PokerStars Ambassador Fintan Hand, who had 449,000 by the end of the evening and is looking for his second title of the season after winning the Main Event in Edinburgh.

After a good few hands of bubble play, Sam Wheeler was forced all in from the big blind for his remaining 3,500 chips. Action folded around to Janos Toth, who flat called in late position. Abdullah Al-Shanti then raised to 20,000 from the small blind and Toth called.
The flop came 8♥Q♥10♠. Al-Shanti bet out 15,000 and Toth folded, leaving Al-Shanti to showdown against the all in player.
Sam Wheeler: K♣Q♠
Abdullah Al-Shanti: Q♣Q♦
Wheeler had a pair of queens and Al-Shanti had a set of queens. The turn came the 6♥ and the river was the 6♦ to give Al-Shanti a full house.

Fintan Hand: J♥J♠
The board ran out Q♥9♦4♥K♥10♣. Barnes had pocket aces but Fintan made a straight on the river to scoop the pot. Barnes was eliminated from the tournament.
