Will Kassouf close to winning
The Main Event offered a buy-in of £500, brought in 491 entries and made the prizepool worth £216,703. This left the winner with a prize of £38,408, which was played for by 27 players in the final table.
They were led by the well-known Will Kassouf. He made his way to the final table as well, but he already had the third biggest stack. The chipleader was Danilo with a stack of 5,255,000.
