A frantic day of poker action at Genting Casino Stratford on July 11 reduced a Day 2 field of 54 players to its final nine combatants, who will return for the final day at 3 p.m. today, July 12, with Daniel Smith of the United Kingdom (2,455,000) in pole position, leading from Chris Yong (2,070,000).
Smith and Yong developed a substantial lead over the rest of the field by the close of play, with Barry Donovan of Ireland (1,100,000) the only other player with a seven-figure stack.
The tournament attracted a total of 190 entries, with the £100,000 prize pool split between the top 27 players, and £22,500 is set aside for the champion.
Smith will be hoping to exceed his career-best score of $6,850, while Yong has a biggest cash of £135,000 for a runner-up finish in the £2,000 PartyPoker WPT UK Main Event in 2016. Donovan’s biggest result is a seventh place finish in the 2014 Irish Open Main Event for €26,500
2025 Player of the Year runner-up Deniz Orhan is still in the mix (560,000), while former GUKPT Luton champion Vikrum Mehta (295,000) begins the day as the short-stack.
In Day 2, Kevin Marney got two-outered by Ivan Meister on the soft bubble, while two simultaneous bust-outs meant David Pollock and Michael Hewes chopped a minimum cash.
Smith started to go on a charge once the bubble was broken, knocking out Robert Garfield, and spiking a two-outer against Jan Van den Bogert, before James Korek eliminated Conor O’Driscoll.
Smith claimed the scalp of Yuet Wong, before he brought play to a conclusion after disposing of Stephen Gee and Nicholas Rishover in one hand with pocket nines.
