GPPT Leeds was held at Leeds United’s Elland Road, well at least adjacent to Elland Road in the magnificent Centenary Pavilion and wow, what a venue. I have to agree with the vast majority of players that inside the event looked amazing, easily the best GPPT leg yet. That ceiling with the little star lights was amazing!
The Main Event gave players a chance to turn a $109 Buy-in into a big pay day, with a total of $250,000 Guaranteed and first place due to receive $40,000. We also held a couple of brilliant single day side events on Sunday with a $50k and a $10k Guarantee, again for a buy-in of a modest $109. This meant players who had been knocked out, and even some first time visitors were able to soak up the atmosphere of the big event, with a great value tournament.
198 players returned from Day 1 to Day 2, and many eyes were on Nathan Farnaby, winner of the previous leg in Newcastle. Nathan made it through to Day 2 via and Online Day 1 with a relatively short stack, however the lad has got talent, and he managed to navigate his way right through to the final table, unfortunately (for him) falling in 9th place.
After several (many) hours, we’d seen the Final 9 whittled down to just 2, with Richard Evans and Jack Kent facing off across the baize. Richard’s story was a good one, a qualifier for free (yes) from one of Dusk Till Dawn’s pub leagues, he out played and out lasted over 2000 players, but despite a massive chip advantage, couldn’t quiet finish off his opponent. Jack doubled a number of times, until the chip count swung in his favour.
The final hand of the GPPT Leeds Main Event saw Kent raise to 1,800,000 with 
, Evans raise all-in for 6,000,000 with 
, and Kent call. The 
flop missed Kent, but he had a plethora of outs, one of which was the 
that appeared on the turn. A 
river card bust Evans in second place, leaving Kent to be crowned the GPPT Leeds Main Event champion.
