The Grosvenor Poker Tour rolls on to it's finale, with London’s Paul Bracken winning the tenth leg at the recently refurbished G Casino in Blackpool.

He outlasted over 350 opponents on his way to securing the first prize of just under £120,000, sealing the victory shortly after 10.30pm following a lively heads up battle against Teesside’s Paul Gardner.

In the final hand he moved all in on a 9-T-6 board holding 9-6 for two pair. His opponent called with T-5 and after a harmless queen and a seven followed on the turn and river it was all over. Paul, originally from Ireland, is mainly a cash game player and has been a professional for the last four years, but will be having another crack at winning a big money tournament in the GUKPT Grand Final in less than two weeks’ time.
