Back in May, Ali Ayub became the first-ever EAPT UK Main Event champion to bag a cool £67,400.
The local hero outlasted 858 players and, after agreeing to an ICM chip-chop, beat Ionut Dumitrana heads-up to take the crown.
The DTD regular and commentator was a popular victor, and the winning moment came when Ayub shoved with an open-ended straight draw and flush draw. Dumitrana made the call with a pair of threes.
Ayub had two over cards with the five-four of clubs and had 20 outs to take down the championship. He hit the eight of clubs for a flush to lift the light-up EAPT trophy.

Jack Sinclair opened to 4,000 and was three-bet to 11,000 by Vladislav Kirilenok in the next seat. When it got back to Sinclair, he called.
They saw a flop of 6♠9♥10♦ which checked through to the J♦ turn. Sinclair bet 9,000, and Kirilenok called.
A 4♦ completed the board and Sinclair checked it over to Kirilenok, who shoved for 35,200. Sinclair thought for quite some time and looked to be in the blender and unsure of how to proceed, but eventually he called.
Kirilenok then showed A♦5♦ for the nut flush, and Sinclair mucked.

There were already around 30,000 chips in the middle on a board of 7♦9♣8♥3♠2♦ when Beka Magradze shoved the river into Dmitrii Baburin. After counting out his stack, Baburin had around 27,000 remaining and ultimately elected to call.
Magradze showed A♠Q♣ for just ace-high, but Baburin had the winner with K♦9♦ for a pair of nines.
