With his elimination of Rudy Hanna, Joseph Saunders is now crowned the winner of the £200 Opener. Saunders locked up £7,495 after the heads-up deal; it’s his biggest ever live cash, but he was more excited about winning a Hendon Mob hoodie and the iconic trophy.
That wraps up today’s live coverage. The blog will go live tomorrow at 13:15, when it’s time for Day 1b of the £280 Main Event. Before that, a recap of today’s action (and the Main Event Day 1a chip counts) will also be published. Thanks to everyone who’s been following along with the action, and we’ll see you tomorrow.
