University student Harry Lodge is \u00a360,000 richer after winning the main event of the 2015 Sky Poker Six-Max UK Poker Championships at Nottingham’s Dusk Till Dawn.<\/p>\n
After lining up alongside 513 other entrants, 21-year-old Lodge managed to enter the final 16 on Sunday with the second largest chip stack, trailing only Richard Hawes in the standings.<\/p>\n
And the two start-of-day chip leaders went on to meet heads-up in a thrilling battle for the title with the chip lead exchanging hands several times before Lodge began to put a cushion between himself and Hawes.<\/p>\n
The final hand saw Hawes commit his stack with pocket jacks and Lodge call with a pair of fives. But Lodge spiked a set on the turn and when the river bricked, Hawes\u2019 fantastic run came to an abrupt end.<\/p>\n
The first player to fall on the final day was Matt Cartwright who shoved from the small blind with 7-5 and couldn\u2019t get there versus the AD-QD of Leon Campbell.<\/p>\n
Cartwright was followed to the sidelines by Leo McClean, Tom Kugelstadt, Paul Ephremsen, Leo Worthington-Leese, Ian Gwynne, Adam Maxwell, Tim Wright, Craig McDowell and the final table bubble boy Mohammed Ifzail.<\/p>\n
Paul McTaggart was the final table\u2019s first casualty, pushing all-in from the cut-off with pocket sixes and being called by Lodge in the big blind with Q-J. The KS-8D-3S-7S-8S on the board playing into Lodge’s hand, which contained a bigger spade than McTaggart.<\/p>\n
Michael Lyons was the next to exit when he moved all-in with Q-10 but ran into Hawe’s pocket eights. The snowmen held on an ace-high board and the final table was down to four.<\/p>\n
Four became three after a huge three-way pot including Lodge and Hawes sent Campbell to the rail and catapulted the economics student into the chip lead.<\/p>\n
Shortly after Campbell\u2019s exit, George Devine\u2019s tournament ended when Lodge opened to 400,000 on the button, Hawes made it 1,100,000 from the small blind and Devine four-bet shoved for 6,000,000 from the big blind.<\/p>\n
Lodge got out of the way, but Hawes called with pocket nines to put Devine at risk. Holding pocket 10s, Devine looked set for a double-up but a nine on the flop changed all that and when the board refused to straighten out or show a 10, Devine was gone.<\/p>\n
