Bev, from Bromley, Kent, UK and wife of comedian and poker player Norman Pace, overcame UK form player Jen Mason in a heads-up battle in the televised tournament. After a number of swings Pace’s pocket sixes held-up all-in against Mason’s Ace Jack off suit.

“I’m very happy,” said Bev. “This is my first big win and I intend to give myself a bankroll to play more tournaments for bigger stakes in the near future. I was sixth in the Ladies European Championship in April and went to the WSOP and Aussie Millions this year but haven’t really cashed significantly.”

Jen Mason has been on a hot streak in recent months and many fancied her to scoop the title after it went heads-up.
