Side event results from EPT London are slowly being released to the public. We have two side events that qualify for PTPR Points ... one of them has a laundry list of who's who in poker!
In the 2K British Pounds event, Patrik Ghatge picked up the win but it's the other players who collected points that had our attention.
Daniel Smith (proud new Canadian!) finished third in the event - good for his fifth PTPR Score of the season. Defending WSOP Main Event champ Jonathan Duhamel earned his fourth score, finishing sixth. Sam Stein, who sits just a few points outside the PTPR Top 15, earns his fourth score while Matthew Waxman surpasses ElkY on the PTPR Leaderboard with his seventh score of the year ... joining Jason Mercier and Max Lykov as the only players with seven PTPR Scores this year.
In the 1K British Pounds Oct. 3-4 event, it was Shinya Shimada who won the event. Georgis Kapalas' second PTPR Score is earned with his third place finish. Andrew Chen (4th score) and Anton Wigg (2nd score) were the other two notable players at the final table.
