Nick’s Gott the drive for Grand Prix success

After four online flights and eight live flights, the Grand Prix at Dusk Till Dawn attracted 2,013 entrants but there was only one winner... an honour that went to Nicholas Gott, who picked up £35,000 and a WPT500 seat for his efforts.

Gott beat Phil Steer heads-up, with Steer winning £21,000 as runner-up.

Gott outlasted a field of 365 players who assembled for day two in Nottingham to do battle for the whopping £251,265 prize pool, with 215 reaching the money.

The final table bubble boy was Hasan Shahid who picked up £1,600 for ninth.

The final eight were Ali Mallu with 24.5m chips, Gary Bryan on 5.5m, Rich Milner (7m), Raja Imran Hussain (7.3m), Gott on 6.8m, Rob Smith with 7.15m, Michael Boucher (9.5m) and Steer on 31m.

But despite giving Steer an almost 4.5:1 head start as the final-table action got underway it was Gott who emerged as champion.

Mallu, Phil Gould and Leo Rahman also picked up WPT500 seats, courtesy of the £11,275 last-longer pool.
