We're back in Edinburgh and it's a new venue for the tour as the action this season will take place at the Genting Club Casino. Inside the casino there's everything needed for a successful tournament and outside, should you bust, you're right next to a Nandos. It's a poker players dream location!

The Main Event carries a £700+£70 buy-in and this leg is a straight freezeout, no second chances here. But there could be a second win for Dean Hutchison, he's already in the building and will be defending the title he won in Season 4. Back in January 2014 during heads-up play he was one card away from elimination against Team PokerStars Pro's Liv Boeree and we were one card away from the fastest UKIPT final table in history. The Scotsman rivered a straight though and the two then went back and forth for around two hours before Hutchison got over the line.

Day 1A is due to start at noon and will comprise of a dozen 45 minute levels meaning play should wrap up around 22.45 GMT.

UKIPT5 Edinburgh key facts:
- 25,000 starting stack
- Blinds starting at 50/100 for 250 big blinds

- No re-entry here, this is an old school straight freezeout.

We'll let our players decide which their favourite PokerStars events are. But few would doubt how magnificent a place Edinburgh is to play.

It's with that back drop of culture and architecture which the UKIPT rolled into the Scottish capital today, with the festival opening with an undercard featuring a low stakes Turbo and a £100 + £10 freezeout into the Main Event, to be played at the Genting Club Casino at the Fountain Park Entertainment Centre.

For its part the Main Event, with a buy-in of £1000 + £100, begins tomorrow at 12 noon. That's when Day 1A players will start their bid to repeat what Dean Hutchison did a little more than 18 months ago.

Heads up at UKIPT Edinburgh back in Season 4

That was the most recent visit the tour made to Edinburgh, back in January 2014. It proved a finale fitting an event with a £500,000 prize pool and a field of 427 players.

It came down to a heads-up encounter between Hutchison and Team Pro Liv Boeree, one in which Hutchison found a miracle river card to turn the outcome upside down. Hutchison denied Boeree a second major title of her career, while picking up a winner's check worth £93,900.

This will be the fifth visit for the festival, and a little digging around our UKIPT coverage page will lead you to results and stories from previous incarnations.

That coverage will commence tomorrow and the Main Event gets underway, continuing through to the final table on Sunday. Stay tuned to the PokerStars Blog for all the action.

That freezeout satellite we mentioned earlier starts at 8pm UK time tonight by the way. If you hurry you still have time to make it.

For a while leading up to the final table of tonight's Super Tuesday -- the weekly $1,050 no-limit hold'em event that consistently brings out poker's best and brightest -- it looked as though the most recent European Poker Tour Main Event champion, Niall "Firaldo87" Farrell, might be adding another title to his collection as he challenged for the lead then continued to battle with six players left.

But Farrell would fall shy of that finish, knocked out in sixth by the player who would eventually go on to win this week's tournament -- Re8uZ of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (population about 2 million). Re8uZ earned an even $88,000 for the win following a three-way deal, and here's the story of how Re8uZ did it.

There were 504 players total in this week's Super Tuesday, meaning a $504,000 prize pool that bested the recently-boosted $450K guarantee. Just after the five-and-a-half-hour mark they made it to the money with 63 players left, and not long after that chikka21 was well out ahead of the pack with more than 220,000 while the nearest foe was hovering around 140,000.

About two hours after that they were down to 18, with chikka21 still the chip leader with just a touch over 300,000 and Niall "Firaldo87" Farrell -- less than three weeks removed from his win in the EPT12 Malta Main Event -- only a big blind or so behind in second position.

Bruno chato (18th), vander9279 (17th), and Pauli elTopo (16th) were the next players eliminated, earning $4,032 each. Then Kozlikin23 (15th), T-Macha (14th), and after having slid back to the pack chikka21 (13th) were successively eliminated, taking away $5,040 apiece. Bernardo "bedias" Dias (12th), Samuel "SamuelBT" Tsehai (11th), and David "dpeters17" Peters (10th) followed them to the rail, each cashing for $6,048.

With eventual winner Re8uZ having by then ascended into first position with nearly 550,000, the final table had begun.

Seat 1: Ramiro "ramastar88" Petrone (Argentina) -- 320,573
Seat 2: Andy "wiisssppppaa" Taylor (United Kingdom) -- 153,159
Seat 3: Pokerger1337 (Netherlands) -- 286,320
Seat 4: IgorKarkarof (Denmark) -- 83,398
Seat 5: talonaquiles (United Kingdom) -- 148,852
Seat 6: Niall "Firaldo87" Farrell (United Kingdom) -- 466,698
Seat 7: nathkpk (Canada) -- 276,494
Seat 8: Re8uZ (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) -- 545,549
Seat 9: Matias "Festivuss" Gabrenja (Mexico) -- 238,957

The final nine made it through the tournament's nine-hour break, then soon after Andy "wiisssppppaa" Taylor open-raised all in from under the gun for just under 98,000 (about 13-and-a-half big blinds) and got one caller in Pokerger1337 sitting a seat over. Taylor had [Ah][Kd] and was racing Pokerger1337's [Qc][Qs]. The board came [Ts][7s][Jh][8s][6d], and having failed to improve Taylor was out in ninth.

About a half-hour later the blinds were 4,500/9,000 when Niall "Firaldo87" Farrell opened for the minimum from UTG, Re8uZ called from a couple of seats over, then Matias "Festivuss" Gabrenja three-bet to 43,434 total. It folded back to Farrell who stepped aside, but Re8uZ called.

Both remaining players checked the [5s][3s][Td] flop, then after the [7s] turn Re8uZ led for 85,336 and Gabrenja called. The river brought the [Kh] and an all-in push by Re8uZ which Gabrenja called with his last 170,707. Gabrenja turned over [Ad][As] for an overpair, but Re8uZ had flopped a set with [3h][3c], and Gabrenja was done in eighth.

Five hands later it was talonaquiles open-raising all in for 110,264 from early position, getting one caller in Farrell sitting in the next seat. talonaquiles had [Ah][Jc] and Farrell [8h][8s]. The community cards came [6c][Ks][3d][Tc][7s], the eights had held, and talonaquiles was out in seventh.

A little while later they had just crossed the 10-hour mark when Niall "Firaldo87" Farrell opened with a 2x raise to 24,000 from the cutoff, Re8uZ reraised to 68,400 from the small blind, Farrell four-bet all in for 404,816 and Re8uZ called.

Farrell had [Ac][Qh] but Re8uZ had [Ad][Kc], and five cards later -- [Js][3c][7c][8s][9h] -- Farrell's Super Tuesday run had ended in sixth.

Just five hands after Farrell's knockout, IgorKarkarof open-pushed for just over 110,000 from the cutoff and Re8uZ reraised from the small blind to isolate. Each had an ace, but IgorKarkarof's [Ac][3s] was outkicked by Re8uZ's [Ah][Jd]. Then the flop came [9c][Ks][Jc] followed by the [Jh] on the turn, giving Re8uZ trips and making the river no matter as IgorKarkarof was sent railward in fifth.

Nearly 20 minutes after that Ramiro "ramastar88" Petrone opened with a big 6x raise to 84,000 from UTG, Re8uZ reraised all in from the big blind, and Petrone called all in with the 52,174 he had left. Petrone had [Kd][Jd] and was drawing versus Re8uZ's [As][9c], but the [9h][Ad][9s] flop swiftly put a huge damper on those plans, giving Re8uZ a full house. The [2s] turn sealed it, and Petrone cashed in fourth.

Soon the tourney was paused for a deal discussion, at which point Re8uz led with 1,362,789, Pokerger1337 was next with 781,217, and nathkpk third with 375,994. Both "chip chop" and "ICM"-based figures were produced (leaving $8,000 for which to play), and after discussion proceeded a short while they were interrupted when a player unticked the deal box and play was resumed.

A few minutes later they were back in talks, with the stacks having changed a bit to Re8uZ 1,545,672, Pokerger1337 601,584, and nathkpk 372,744. The two sets of numbers were again proposed, and after some back-and-forthing that saw nathkpk agree to give the two bigger stacks a bit more to the "ICM" figures, a deal was struck and play resumed.

Very soon it was nathkpk opening from the button with a min-raise to 32,000, Pokerger1337 reraising all in from the big blind, and nathkpk calling all in for almost 345,000 total. Pokerger1337 had a pair with [6h][6s] while nathkpk had [Ac][Jh], and after the board came nine-high -- [2s][9d][3s][4s][3h] -- they were down to two.

Re8uZ had the advantage to start heads-up play with 1,569,672 to Pokerger1337's 950,328. About two dozen hands later Re8uZ had widened the lead, chipping up close to 2.23 million while Pokerger1337 was knocked back to just over 290,000.

That's when a hand arose that saw Pokerger1337 min-raise from the button to 32,000, Re8uZ three-bet to 72,800, and Pokerger1337 call. The flop came [8d][Jc][Qc], and after Re8uZ led with an all-in shove, Pokerger1337 thought for a couple of beats before calling all in for 216,037.

Re8uZ: [8c][2c]
Pokerger1337: [Kd][Tc]

Both players were on draws with Pokerger1337 having an open-ender and Re8uZ gunning for a club flush, meaning Pokerger1337's king-high was momentarily in front. But the turn brought the [2s] to pair Re8uZ's deuce, and after the [6s] river it was all over -- Re8uZ had won.

Congratulations to Re8uZ for winning the extra $8K following the deal for a nifty $88,000 payday, and kudos as well to Pokerger1337 and nathkpk for making it to the three-handed deal and ensuring nice paydays for themselves, too.
