Birmingham’s\u00a0Faisal Shabbir won the opening leg of the Genting Poker Series at Star City from 12-16 February 2014.<\/p>\n

But, with a top prize of \u00a340,215 on the line, there was no room for brotherly love as the final-day action got underway, with both Chaz and\u00a0Sunny Chattha\u00a0amongst the 17 starters.<\/p>\n

However, neither would make it as far as the final table, with Chaz hitting the rail in 17th place and Sunny joining him after Neil McCulloch’s AK ousted him in 14th.<\/p>\n

Matt Davenport was the chip leader going into the final table and he was able to hold his nerve until just three players remained.\u00a0But a huge loss to Simon Deadman eventually forced him to the rail in third place.<\/p>\n

That pot left Deadman with a significant chip lead over Shabbir, but things didn’t stay that way for long. A fortunate double-up with A6 against Deadman’s AQ gave Shabbir a glimmer of hope which he managed to use to his advantage and capture the chip lead. Soon after the match was brought to a close after multiple draws failed to materialise into a made hand for Deadman in the final pot. <\/p>\n
