A cool \u00a31m guarantee tempted over a thousand players to Nottingham’s Dusk Till Dawn casino for the Sky UK Poker Championships from 22 February-1 March.<\/p>\n
A tense final day of action saw 31 players return for a shot at glory, but there was only one person who’d walk away with a cheque for the \u00a3200,000 top prize and that lucky soul was Fraser Bellamy.<\/p>\n
The British grinder grabbed the chip lead three-handed and after taking out David Lloyd in third place, Bellamy managed to dispatch Chris Vernon a few minutes later to take the title. <\/p>\n
An all-in and a call saw Bellamy table pocket queens leaving Vernon looking for some help with A-4. Unfortunately, as the board ran out 7-3-J-2-Q Vernon was left with the runners-up cheque… for a paltry \u00a3120,000.<\/p>\n
