Aarun Bernard outlasted a field of 112 entries, 13 players short of the \u00a325,000 guarantee, to win the Nottingham leg of the Grosvenor 25\/25 Series from 16-18 May 2014 and take away the trophy and \u00a36,100.<\/p>\n
Going one better than his third-place finish at the Leeds Merrion 25\/25
\nthe week before, Matt Eardley finished runner-up at the G Casino for \u00a35,200.<\/p>\n
With the tournament down to three of the 33 players who returned for Day 2 \u2013 Bernard, Eardley and Lawrence Brooks \u2013 a deal was agreed which saw the latter two settle for \u00a34,500 each and Bernard take home \u00a35,000, with \u00a31,800 left to play for.<\/p>\n
On the very next hand Bernard and Brooks saw a flop of J-5-5 and all their chips went into the middle with Bernard holding J-9 and Brooks K-J.<\/p>\n
It didn’t look good at that point for Bernard but the nine on the turn and a 10 on the river gave him a better two pair and saw Brooks out in third place for the agreed \u00a34,500. With Bernard now a big chip leader, the players once again decided to deal with Bernard taking a further \u00a31,100 and Eardley \u00a3700.<\/p>\n
