He won his seat into the tournament via a £50 super satellite and defeated a field of just 39 players to win the £7,220 first prize.
The runner up was Joseph Stone, another live satellite winner while pro sports bettor Mark Wilson claimed third. Charles Ihle and Darren Hickman, who have both made final tables on the main GUKPT tour were the other player in the prize money, finishing in 4th and 5th places respectively. Meanwhile the Newcastle’s £300 main event had 66 players and was won by Hugh Frew, who scooped the first prize of £6,340 beating Boris Mutch heads up for the title.
