The runner-up of the £500 buy-in tournament was Allan McLean from Blackpool. Despite his vast experience, it took only a few hands for the heads-up to play out. McLean was crippled when his A-2 was run over by Parkes’ A-K, and in the last hand Parkes dominated once again with A-10 versus McLean’s J-6. The board came down K-9-5-9-Q bringing no help for the final two, and Parkes took home his first GUKPT trophy. His last GUKPT win was in a side event at the Bolton leg in 2008.

The final results were:
