Man has now increased his total live tournament winnings ten-fold his biggest prize before Sunday was a runner-up finish in an Irish Poker Open PLO side event last April for €22,335.

The whole festival was a huge success with numerous players saying it was the best five days poker they’d ever had. There were a total of 1,086 entries to the £1 million guaranteed Main Event at Grosvenor Casino Coventry, generating a record prize pool of £1,466,100. The UK Poker Open has made a spectacular debut with a £1,500 buy-in Main Event that attracted more than a thousand entries and created the biggest prize pool in Grosvenor poker history.
