A sellout field of 424 players participated in the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour at the Victoria Casino, London, which was won by Ketul Nathwani, who thoroughly dominated the final table, knocking out five of his opponents en route to collecting the first prize of £119,780. In the deciding hand of the event, Nathwani called Tony Phillips’ 450,000 all-in push. Nathwani had pocket fives and Phillips had A-2 and did not hit the ace required to keep him alive.
The final table payouts were:
- Ketul Nathwani — £119,780
- Tony Phillips — £69,960
- Dan Samson — £50,880
- David Rudling — £33,920
- Maria ‘Chili’ Demetriou — £26,500
- Steve Jelinek — £20,140
- Fran Egan — £15,900
- Lloyd Rees — £12,720
- Colin Kennedy — £9,540
The next stop on the tour is Manchester, beginning Apr. 21.
