Leg five of the Genting Poker Series in Liverpool, the inaugural Mini with a \u00a3220 buy-in instead of the normal \u00a3440, saw 277 players produce a prize pool of \u00a355,400, with the largest chunk going to winner Matty Stitt.<\/p>\n
The first final table casualty was Andy Muldoon who bet every street on a J-8-9-6-8 board, shoving all-in on the river to be called by Stitt, whose Q-J had Muldoon\u2019s K-Q well beaten.<\/p>\n
Stitt then sent Danny Wilson to the rail when his pocket sevens held against Wilson’s 9-8 all-in pre-flop. Stitt then found A-9 when Kev Warrilow shoved with A-7, the nine playing to send Warrilow to the rail.<\/p>\n
Joe McKeown then followed Ted Ames to the rail and the remaining four players paused the tournament and struck a deal that saw Stitt lock up \u00a313,000 and the other three players \u00a37,000 , leaving the trophy and \u00a31,450 for the champion.<\/p>\n
Fourth place went to Johnston, who lost a flip to Jonny Zaib. Johnston held A-8 and Zaib pocket fours. Although Johnston caught an eight on the flop, Zaib made his set on the river.<\/p>\n
Peter Hytner exited in third place when he committed his short stack with J-6 and Zaib called with J-2, a deuce on the river leaving Zaib heads-up with Stitt.<\/p>\n
With the players level in chips, it only took a couple of minutes to decide the outcome when Zaib’s all-in was called by Stitt, whose queens were in good shape against A-4, a third queen on the river locking up the hand.<\/p>\n
