Rehman Kassam Wins Record-Breaking 2017 PokerStars Festival London (£89,320)

The third and final day of the record-breaking PokerStars Festival London £990 Main Event saw 24 survivors out of a 944-entry strong field return to the tables of the Hippodrome Casino.

It took exactly until midnight to determine the winner and it was Rehman Kassam who emerged victorious after defeating Daniel Harwood in heads up. The first series on European soil more than doubled the initial guarantee and created a massive prize pool of £824,112.

Kassam, Harwood and Eric Cech struck a deal with three players remaining. Harwood received the biggest portion of the prize pool with £95,000 while Kassam got £89,320 and the coveted golden trophy.
