Record-breaking Goliath ended a 9-way deal that left Will Watkins the winner
With a record 11,749 entries, The Goliath tournament produced a prizepool of up to £1,879,840 at the Grosvenor Casino Coventry. Of this amount, £278,390 was awaiting the winner and the top 36 players battled it out on the final day.
Gilbert Black entered the final table as the chipleader, and he also sat at the final table as the chipleader. Here, however, the top nine players negotiated an ICM deal, after which all that was left to do was play for the trophy.
Gilbert Black thus secured the biggest prize money of £175,575, knocking out a total of 12 opponents during the day. However, one was beyond his strength and he had to settle for second place. The winner of the record-breaking The Goliath tournament was Will Watkins, who took home the second highest prize of £166,070 and a trophy to boot.
