Michael Kane ensured the 888poker UK Poker League (UKPL) Edinburgh Main Event trophy remained in bonny Scotland by outlasting 310 opponents at the Grosvenor Maybury Casino. Kane came out on top after a three-way deal that resulted in 25,208 of the 147,730 prize pool hitting his bank account.

Kane has a penchant for going deep in Edinburgh-based live events. In 2014, he finished seventh in the PokerStars UKIPT Edinburgh Main Event for 15,570. At the 2019 GUKPT Edinburgh Main Event, Kane finished second for 27,860. He finished second in a 250 NLHE event in February 2022 for another 18,165.
