Anthony Kennedy Wins Event #1: £300 Mini Main

England’s Anthony Kennedy won the festival’s largest prize so far after shipping Event #1: £300 Mini Main on Sunday, November 8 at Dusk Till Dawn. The field drew 1,363 entries across four starting flights and a Last Chance, smashing the £250,000 guarantee and building a £354,380 prize pool.

Kennedy emerged from a final table that saw a deal struck among four players. His countrymate Tai Hoang finished as runner-up for £33,130. Nicholas Bobeszko took third for £30,310, while Chase Wilson collected £31,740 in fourth, higher than third as a result of the deal. Kennedy also earned a seat into the £1,500 Main Event alongside the ring and the WSOP Paradise package.

Kennedy is no stranger to Dusk Till Dawn, with a long history at the venue stretching back nearly two decades. The Tipton-based player carries 53 career live cashes and more than $424,000 in tracked live earnings according to The Hendon Mob.

He finished runner-up at a WSOPC High Roller right here at DTD in April 2019 (£37,500) and took down the DTD500 outright a decade ago. He also cashed the 2023 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas. The ring he collected here on Sunday appears to be his first WSOP Circuit title, and it came in front of a home crowd at the venue he knows better than anywhere.

Nathan Jones Wins Event #4: £300 7-Max

England’s Nathan Jones won Event #4: £300 7-Max, on Sunday, November 8. The 266-entry field built a £69,160 prize pool, blowing past the £25,000 guarantee. Jones beat China’s Cheng Zhu heads-up, with Zhu collecting £9,750 as runner-up. Jones’s countrymate Daniel Suns finished third for £6,750. Cyprus’s Angelos Michael took fourth for £5,252. The win earned Jones a WSOP Circuit ring and the $5,000 WSOP Paradise package.

The Wolverhampton-based player has been building a steady resume on the British circuit. Jones has 36 career live cashes and roughly $157,000 in tracked live earnings, per The Hendon Mob. His biggest score before this week was a third-place finish in the 888poker LIVE High Roller at Coventry in October 2023, worth £17,940.

He also has a GUKPT title to his name, winning the GUKPT Luton Closer in September 2023, and was runner-up at the DTD Christmas Cup that December. However, this victory will be memorable, adding his first WSOP Circuit ring to his hardware collection.

Ian Morris Wins Event #6: £300 Seniors [50+]

Someone had been here before. Nottingham’s Ian Morris sat down for Event #6: £300 Seniors, on Monday, November 9, knowing exactly what winning it felt like. He had won this same event, at this same venue, at this same buy-in level, back in March 2024. Same room, same field, same ring on the line. And when the dust settled on a 139-entry field that built a £36,140 prize pool against a £25,000 guarantee, Morris had done it again. He took home £8,455, another WSOP Circuit ring and a $5,000 WSOP Paradise package. His countrymate Martyn Cavanagh was runner-up for £5,564, with Germany’s Gerhard Brimmers taking third for £3,785.

DTD is Morris’s home card room, and his record there reflects it. The Hendon Mob has him at 117 career live cashes and $183,579 in tracked earnings, built almost entirely in and around Nottingham. His biggest score, £20,160, came right here when he finished second in the UK Poker Championships Finale in February 2018. He also won the GUKPT Goliath Seniors in Coventry in August 2024. But this week belonged to a different category entirely: back-to-back WSOPC Seniors titles at Dusk Till Dawn, with two rings to prove it.
