After several top-end results on the GUKPT, it's the breakthrough win that many thought Sam Grafton (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-665th) would soon be earning.
Grafton won the GUKPT Grand Final on Sunday, the first win of his live tournament poker career and the £ 102,700 collected dwarfs what he had earned in his live career.
Grafton defeated Peter Charalambous heads-up. Charalambous becomes the bridesmaid for the second time on the GUKPT - he finished second to Jeff Kimber at GUKPT Walsall back in 2008.
Two-time WSOP final table participant Jon Spinks was fifth in the event ... meanwhile, Christopher Brammer, Jan Sjavik, Jamie Burland and Simon Deadman are some other notables who cashed in London.
