Belgian Pierrick Tallon topped a field of 446 runners to win the UK and Ireland Poker Tour main event at the Rainbow Casino in Bristol from 5-9 August.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old walked away with a first prize of \u00a353,000 after seeing off a final table that included Ireland’s Joseph Lalor, Frenchman Otto Richard and the UK’s Chi Zhang.<\/p>\n
Tallon agreed a heads-up deal with Chris Brice, who pocketed a \u00a342,000 for his runner-up finish. Two-handed play was cagey but Tallon took control after doubling up after flopping a set and he carried that momentum all the way to victory, eventually sealing the deal when his AH-3S held up against Brice’s KH-4H.<\/p>\n
