The partypoker Grand Prix Poker Tour (GPPT) headed to Stamford Bridge this weekend for the second leg of its debut season, and it marked the first GPPT event held at a football stadium. Players turned out in droves to play in the £250,000 guaranteed Main Event — more than 3,200 in total — as they enjoyed a near £60,000 overlay. The lion's share of the prize pool, £35,000, ended up with Sunny Mistri, the tournament's champion.
