Following his impressive victory in the 2023 Irish Open Main Event in April, it was likely Scotland’s David Docherty would be crowned the PokerStars UKIPT Player of the Year come the end of the season. On November 9, Docherty took down the 3,200 Super High Roller at the PokerStars UKIPT Nottingham festival, and the leaderboard points received from that first-place finish ensures nobody can catch him at the leaderboard’s summit.

Docherty was one of 46 entrants in the 3,200 UKIPT Nottingham Super High Roller at Dusk Till Dawn. The field was compact but contained many seasoned grinders, including Leo Worthington-Leese, Mitch Johnson, Scott Margereson, Waheed “Wadey” Ashraf, Jamie O’Connor, Steve Warburton, Ludovic Geilich, and Team PokerStars’ Benjamin Spragg.

PokerStars UKIPT Nottingham 3,200 Super High Roller Final Table Results

4	Andrew Hulme	United Kingdom	15,390
5	Paul Fontan	United Kingdom	12,050

Only the top six finishers received a slice of the 133,680 prizepool. Kevin Allen was the first in-the-money finisher, his sixth-place exit came with 9,370.

Paul Fontan fell in fifth for 12,050 before Andrew “stato_1” Hulme bowed out in fourth for a 15,390 score.

Spragg’s PokerStars teammate, Fintan Hand, could only muster a third-place finish in this event. Hand, who won the UKIPT Edinburgh Main Event late last month, had to make do with a 20,050 prize this time.

Docherty and China’s Hang Xu fought it out heads-up for the right to call themselves the UKIPT Nottingham Super High Roller champion. Docherty got the job done, resigning Xu to a 30,120 consolation prize while locking in the 46,180 top prize and the 2023 Player of the Year award.

For his superb performances on the UKIPT throughout 2023, Docherty receives a 15,000 UKIPT 2024 package consisting of ten 1,100 live event tickets plus 4,000 cash for expenses. We guess we’ll be seeing Docherty at the PokerStars-branded tables throughout next year.
