Julian Davies topped a field of 171 runners at the G Casino from 24-31 May to lift the Cardiff GUKPT title.<\/p>\n
Davies took the biggest chunk of the guaranteed \u00a3100,000 prize pool despite starting the final day seventh out of nine. Short-stacked with five players left, Davies was one card away from elimination but doubled up after rivering a queen to beat Joanne Ramsden’s pocket nines.<\/p>\n
He didn’t look back from there, eventually going heads up with long-time leader Owain Carey. The final pair agreed a chop before playing on for an extra \u00a31,000 and the trophy. <\/p>\n
After a lengthy two-handed battle it was Davies who took the title, when his pocket aces held against Carey’s short-stacked shove with QC-10S.<\/p>\n
