Londoner Pratik Ghatge (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-659th) used his home-field advantage en route to his first tournament win of the 2012 poker season at the Unibet Open London Main Event.
Ghatge, a 2011 EPT London side event winner, took a huge lead into final table play and although runner-up Tomasz Kozub (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-1,187th) gave it all he had, he simply could not overtake Ghatge.
Defending Champion Paul Valkenburg (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-1,844th) carried the chip lead into final table play. Unfortunately for him, it won't be a repeat for him, finishing fourth.
Frenchman Marc Inizan finished sixth in the event, one spot outside of Player of the Year points collection.
