Stephen Foster is the latest name to be added to the list of GUKPT winners after he took down the event in Leeds from 30 July-2 August.
An impressive field of 249 entries created a guarantee-busting prize pool of £124,500 at the Westgate Casino, where local man Foster beat Sheffield's John Woodhead to the title and £24,500 top prize.
After a four-way deal guaranteed Foster, Woodhead, Simon Taberham and Thomas Besnier would walk away with £19,500 each, Taberham's exit in third place left Woodhead to try and derail Foster's seemingly inevitable ride to victory.
But Woodhead couldn't overcome a two-to-one chip deficit at the start of heads-up play and eventually accepted defeat after all the chips went in on a 5H-6H-4S-AC-KH board with both players tabling two pairs, Foster's A-K topping Woodhead's K-6.
