The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) London Main Event has crowned its champion, and the worthy winner is none other than Weixiao Liao. Some 405 players bought into the £1,250 Main Event and created a £421,372 prize pool. The top 44 finishers won a slice of that pie, with Liao taking home the lion's share.
A four-handed deal all but ended the tournament as a contest because the deal did not leave any additional prize money to win. The final four flipped for the trophy, and Lady Luck shone down on Liao, gifting him the victory, the trophy, and the title of champion thanks to the lowly seven-deuce coming up trumps.
