Main Event ppLIVE Sheffield Crowns Champion, Sudunagunta Takes the Title After a Deal

After all the side events were wrapped up, the spotlight in the Genting Club fell on the Main Event, featuring a £500 buy-in. It recorded 273 entries, driving the prizepool to a substantial £121,485. Following an intense Day 2, the tournament moved to the finale, where spectators could watch the action unfold at the final table.

The final table featured seven local players, alongside competitors from India and Hungary. Taking the early chipleader position was Muhammad Khalil, who was the least experienced among the finalists, with just $2,703 in live earnings according to Hendon Mob. On the opposite end, short-stacked Andrew Teng boasted nearly $1.5 million in live tournament winnings.

As the hours ticked away at the final table, Benjamin Liu, Emmanuel Mulemwa, Hungarian Csaba Kovacs, and Abdul Mukit made their exits. Former chipleader Muhammad Khalil departed in fifth place, followed by George Achillea in fourth. Seasoned pro Andrew Teng secured third place, setting the stage for heads-up play.

In the heads-up clash, local Max Burney faced off against India's Siddharth Sudunagunta. Both players agreed to a deal after leveling their stacks, granting each approximately £16,500, with the trophy, title, and an additional £3,700 still up for grabs. The showdown ended in Sudunagunta's favor, as his pair of 2 s 2 c toppled Burney's A h 6 s. With the flop showing J d 2 h J h, Sudunagunta could already celebrate his victory. He walked away with a total of £20,000 and an invaluable title to his name!
