The Grosvenor 25\/25 Series was back from 4-7 June with John Higgins scooping the loot in Bolton and Kevin Wheeler the force to be reckoned with in Leicester.<\/p>\n
An impressive field of 223 entrants in Bolton created a \u00a344,600 prize fund, with Higgins emerging \u00a312,395 richer after topping a final table that included Howard Jones, George Hilton and Martin Smith.<\/p>\n
Higgins sealed victory after a short-lived heads-up clash with Mark Dyson, his straight beating Dyson’s two-pair.<\/p>\n
With stiff opposition in the shape of the DTD Deepstack, the Leicester event managed a respectable 133 entries over the three starting flights to produce a prize pool of \u00a326,600.<\/p>\n
The man who came out on top was local player Wheeler, after another extremely quick heads-up contest, when his K-10 overcame Zhang Ji-ye’s A-4 to give him the title and a first prize of \u00a38,110.<\/p>\n
