Chehbi checks out with big Vic cheque

A massive 183 entries for flight three of the Grosvenor 25/25 Series in The Poker Room at The Vic created a total field of 400 and an £80,000 prize pool, with Ghassan Chehbi the big winner taking home £14,485.

Of the 111 runners who survived to day two it was Chehbi; Craig Goddard; Lucia Navarro-Martinez; Jeremy Delgallo; Zahari Petrov; Martynas Valkunas; Andrey Veselov; Paul Dunne and Emrah Yildiz who negotiated their way to the final table.

And with more than £60,000 still up for grabs, a deal was quickly made when the action was down to six after first Yildiz, then Dunne and finally Veselov busted out, with each remaining player guaranteed at least £5,000.

Vic regular Chehbi claimed the title after beating Goddard in a gruelling late-night heads-up battle, with Goddard taking home £10,611 as runner-up.
