EPT: Ian Hamilton became the champion of the Main Event

Article cover

The EPT London Main Event with a buy-in of £5,300 brought 749 entries and a prizepool of £3,632,650. A valuable trophy and £664,400 were waiting for the winner.

The best 6 players fought for this reward in the final, and they were led by the Czech representative Roman Hrabec. He got into the tournament thanks to an online qualification for £530. He entered the finals with a stack of 6,135,000.

Roman got off to a great start in the finals and within a short period of time reached a stack of almost 10 million. The dealer gave him only TOP combinations and the board held him several times. Everything was headed towards the fact that he would become the champion.

But there was a twist when there were four players left on the table. Roman started to lose gradually and the first serious situation came when he tried to bluff with A-9 against Sinclair with K-K. From that moment on, he just fell and could not multiply his stack. Roman eventually claimed a prize of £227,800 for fourth place, his highest tournament win. The third place took home the swiss player Alexandre Vuilleumier.

 

In the end Jack Sinclair and Ian Hamilton, both local players, made it to the final heads-up. Heads-up started better Sinclair, who had a stack of 15,340,000 against 7,130,000. But in the end, he had to bow down to Hamilton, who became the winner and took away £664,400 and a valuable trophy. Congratulations!
