Leg 9 of the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour has drawn to a close at the Grosvenor Victoria casino in London, with Canadian Leo Kam taking the £1,000 Main Event spoils.

Lam qualified through a £50 satellite a few weeks earlier, and took that investment all the way to a just under £130,000 pay day and a seat in the Grand Final after a hard fought victory in the 6-day event.

The 26-year old Nobu chef defeated scrap yard merchant Robert Boon after a relatively short heads up battle when his Q-6 proved to be too good for Robert's pocket sixes.
