Final Day Action

The tournament attracted 491 entries to Aspers Casino in London, with 27 players advancing to the final day. Will Kassouf topped the chip counts heading into Day 3, while Getnet Kassa sat fourth in chips.

It was a rollercoaster day for Kassouf, who took an early hit to his stack before battling back into contention. PartyPoker Team Pro Matt Staples also enjoyed a spell at the top of the leaderboard, only to lose ground as the day wore on.

Danilo Sato found himself in fine form, eliminating multiple players to claim the final table chip lead ahead of Fabio Sperling and Kassa. However, momentum quickly shifted once the final table got underway.

Raheel Bhatti scored two crucial double-ups, either side of Tony Poulengeris’ elimination in ninth place, which reshuffled the order at the top. Although Sato remained in front, disaster soon struck as both Kassouf and Bhatti doubled through him, sending Sato tumbling to the bottom of the counts while Bhatti surged to hold 40% of the chips in play.

Staples had laddered up one spot at the final table but bowed out in eighth place after a blind-on-blind confrontation with Kassouf, who reclaimed the chip lead after the break. Abdullah Ahmad followed him to the rail shortly after.

An incredible sequence then unfolded with three eliminations in three hands. Bhatti knocked out both Sperling and Sato in back-to-back hands, before Kassa dispatched Christopher Barnes to set up three-handed play.

Kassa continued his hot streak, rivering quads to eliminate Bhatti, who had rivered a full house himself, and entered heads-up play against Kassouf with a narrow chip advantage. The final duel was brief, with Kassouf managing only one double-up before Kassa closed it out to claim the title and the £38,408 first-place prize.
