Bin Fu went into the final table as the shortest stack so it was no real surprise to see him become the first casualty. Fu started the final day with the sixth shortest stack making his final table appearance even more special.
Adam Lowe, who qualified for this tournament for only £5, was the next player to bust. Lowe’s eighth-place finish bagged him £2,150 before Winston Jones committed his short stack with ace-six only to run into the dominating ace-king and not get there to depart in seventh-place for £2,700.
A horrible hand dispatched Graham Peckover in sixth-place. Peckover looked set for a timely double as his pocket aces were way in front of the ace-nine of his opponent. That was until two nines landed on the flop to give Peckover a bad beat to remember and £3,400 to mop his tears with.

Fifth-place and £4,150 went to Nathan Slater whose jack-ten failed to get there against the ace-king of Justinas Kazlickas. Michael Richardson then found himself running on fumes when his snowmen were melted by Ashley Timms’ pocket tens; Richardson busted soon after.
It's a Done Deal
With only three players remaining, the tournament clock was paused so the players could discuss a deal. It was agreed that Grimes would take £12,500, Kazlickas £10,100 and Tiims £10,000 with the trio going all-in blind on the next hand for the trophy.
UK & Ireland PokerNews was contacted by several members of the British poker community shortly after the deal had been struck wondering if they would finally be paid the money Timms allegedly owes them after they were victims of a scam involving tournament seats.
The dealer dealt the cards, Grime held the lowly try-deuce with his opponents holding ten-deuce and king-six. The latter looked like set to take the pot and the trophy as the board ran queen-jack-queen-eight, but a three on the river sealed the deal for Grime who became the Sky Poker Tour Manchester Main Event champion.
Grime’s previous largest live cash came in Nov. 2018 when he finished eighth in the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Blackpool Main Event for £7,000, now he has a £12,500 score to brag about and will no doubt be battling at another final table sooner rather than later.
