248 players smashed the guarantee at GUKPT Reading – Qualify now for the next leg in Leeds
Last month we reported on Julian Davies, who won the GUKPT Cardiff for £25,000. He was back in the thick of it at GUKPT Reading, threatening to become the first man to win back-to-back main events.
He made the final table but was eliminated in fourth spot for another bumper payday of £17,200. It left Raul Martinez and Hui Jin heads-up, and after agreeing a deal the two enjoyed an epic encounter, which Martinez won with A-7 against pocket Fives.
Lee Doran, Aaron Biggs and Florian Andrei all deserve a special mention too. They qualified through satellites for a fraction of the £550 buy-in and spun this up to cashes of £2,860, £3,340 and £3,970 respectively.
