So the waiting is over and we know the winner of the EPT London Poker Festival Main Event and a £850,000 first prize,. This is the American Aaron Gustavson beat Team PokerStars PRO and World Champion Peter Eastgate. Gustavson and Eastgate, who wins £530,000 as runner-up, started their heads-up battle straight after dinner. It lasted just seven hands when Gustavson’s A-Q beat Eastgate’s A-9.
A total of 104 players cashed and all in all, the tournament has been considered a great success. This season’s EPT London Poker Festival featured 16 different events. Side event winners included Team PokerStars PROs Joe Hachem, Jason Mercier and William Thorson. We now look forward to the next event of the EPT which is EPT Warsaw from October 20-25, 2009. Satellites are running now, as well as for the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in January.
