Aaron Gustavson takes £850,000 for first place while Peter Eastgate takes £530,000 for runner-up.

That's it for us here in London. As always it's been a slice. Check back later for the feature news with words from our winner and runner-up.

Gustavson and the River Check-Raise 2 months ago

On the first hand of this heads-up match Aaron Gustavson has done some serious damage to Peter Eastgate's stack.

Eastgate opened from the button and got a call. The flop came Qc 5s 2s and Aaron check-called 370k. The turn was the Kc and Gustavson check-called again, this time for 725,000.

The river was the 5h and Gustavson checked for the third and final time. Eastgate bet again, 1,135,000, but this time Gustavson check-raised to 3.3 million. 

Eastgate clearly had a decision but after a long dwell he opted to fold. Advantage Gustavson.

Senninger Out (3rd) 2 months ago

Nikolai Senninger was doing a good job all day of picking up chips but it all fell apart moments ago in a massive hand against Aaron Gustavson.

Nikolai opened from the button to 275,000 and Gustavson three-bet to 800,000 from the small blind. Nikolai called and the flop came down Qh 7h 3d. Gustavson led for 1.14 million and Senninger called.

The turn was the 9c and Gustavson moved all-in. Senninger thought it over for a long time but eventually made the call.

Gustavson: Qd Ts

Senninger: 8c 8h

Senninger was in terrible shape, drawing to the two remaining eights in the deck. The river was the Tc, however, meaning Nikolai's tournament was over.

He's out in third and takes £285,000.

Eastgate Fighting Back 2 months ago

Peter Eastgate hasn't given up yet and he just took a few chips from chip leader Aaron Gustavson. Aaron opened to 240,000 from the button and Eastgate made it 795,000 from the small blind. Gustavson called and the flop came Qc Js 5c and both players checked.

Eastgate led for 825,000 and after a short dwell Gustavson folded.

Senninger Up; Eastgate Down 2 months ago

Nikolai Senninger opened to 275,000 from the button and Peter Eastgate announced raise from the big blind. He made it 795,000 and after a few moments Senninger made the call.

The flop hit the felt 8h 8s 2c and Eastgate fired 835,000. Senninger tanked for a long time before counting out the chips and making the call. The turn was the Td and Eastgate checked somewhat reluctantly.

Senninger bet out 775,000 and the action was back on the reigning world champion. After some thought Eastgate decided to fold. Senninger picks up a very healthy pot.

Gudvangen Not Gud Enough (4th) 2 months ago

After doubling up Nikolai Senninger, Martin Gudvangen decided ace-three was good enough to commit his stack with.

Senninger proved to be his nemesis again making the obvious call with a dominating ace-queen.

After a board of blanks that included giving Senninger a flush draw to take away some of Gudvangen's outs, he busted fourth cashing £227,000.

Peter Eastgate still has the chip lead as we move into three-handed play.

Last Englishman Out (5th) 2 months ago

We've heard a lot of talk from the UK contingent here about a native taking down the main event here in London but it's not going to happen this year. Dominic Cullen was the last remaining Brit and he's just been eliminated.

He shoved 1.7 million with As Ts and got called by Peter Eastgate who showed down pocket eights.

An eight on the flop spelled disaster for Cullen and once the turn and river had made it official he was forced to get up and go. He's out in 5th and will take £173,000.

Senninger Flops Boat; Gets Paid 2 months ago

Nikolai Senninger has had a profitable few hands and now finds himself with close to 5 million. After the double we reported moments ago this hand with Martin Gudvangen developed.

Senninger opened to 250k from under the gun and Gudvangen called in the big blind. The flop came down Kc Kh Qd and Nikolai fired 280,000 after a check from his opponent. Gudvangen then check-raised to 735,000.

After a lot of thought Nikolai made the call and they both checked the 4s on the turn. The 5c came on the river and after Gudvangen checked Senninger moved all-in for 1,445,000.

Gudvangen thought it over and decided to call. Senninger showed pocket queens for the boat and Gudvangen is clearly shocked. Full house is good and Senninger takes it down.

German for Double 2 months ago

Nikolai Senninger has just doubled up at the expense of big-stack Martin Gudvangen. Gudvangen moved in from the small blind and Senninger called with A-8. Gudvangen had K-6 and couldn't catch a piece of the board.

Senninger was all-in for 1,235,000 and he's now on over 2.5 million.
