By Sunday night, the event was in the bag, with Timothy Chung managing to best the field, including Mark Kelsall heads-up, to claim the victory, and a top prize of £78,700 ($101,688). Timothy Chung opened for 160,000 from early position and was called by David Callaghan from the big blind. Callaghan check-raised Chung all in after he put out a pot-sized bet of 625,00 on the.

The 288-runner £550 MPNPT Manchester Main Event crowned its champion on Sunday, awarding the bulk of the £150,000 total prize pool to the nine players surviving after two days of tournament poker at the Grosvenor Casino. In the fastest final table ever seen on the MPN Poker Tour, it took less than six hours for 27-year-old poker pro Tim Chung to climb from short stack to last man standing, toppling huge chip leaders Yiannis Liperis and Sebastian Gruszczynski in the process.

“I came to the final table without the huge stack of my friend [Liperis],” said Chung. “But I got an early double up. I then lost some back – I get a bit carried away with chips; I had good players on my left.”

After some hours of grinding (and some exceptional folds), for which his experience stood him in good stead, Chung finally took down the final hand. This latest title adds to an already healthy tournament record; Chung has $300,000 in live winnings, although he considers himself to be mainly a live cash game player.

A true “chip and a chair” comeback saw Alex Kong take the runner-up spot and £21,000 after starting the final with just four big blinds. “You’ve never played with King Kong!” he admonished his opponents, as he picked up aces and kings like they made up half a standard deck. Kong has played poker – of all disciplines and levels – for years, appearing on the first series of Late Night Poker, the show that introduced many in the UK to the game in the 1990s.

While Andreas Olympios, along with Chung, Kong and Liperis, make their living playing poker, a couple of skilled amateurs were also rewarded. Cody Wagner, a synthesis chemist, and Gruszczynski, a businessman and marketer, both put in a good showing, the latter winning the Last Longer King promotion which won him a free seat in Tallinn’s MPNPT Main Event. Outlasting all qualifiers from Betsson Group sites, he can now aim to best his £8,350 for 5th place when the tour goes to Estonia in October.

Speaking about the speed with which he took down the event, Chung said, “All my final tables are really, really quick – and heads ups, less than five minutes. This one, one hand!”

Over the weekend the Dusk Till Dawn poker club in Nottingham hosted a number of superb live poker tournaments, the highlight being the £150 DTD Deepstack that guaranteed a prize pool of £50,000. The man who walked away with the lion's share of this huge prize was Timothy Chung who picked up £15,372.50 for his efforts.

This is bar far Chung's largest live cash to date, in fact this score is almost four-times the size of his previous three cashes combined! Prior to this result, Chung's last cash – which was also his largest – came at the £1,000,000 guaranteed UKIPT Nottingham held at Dusk Till Dawn. On that occasion Chung picked up £3,400 for his 33rd place finish but that has now been dwarfed by this win.

There were 235 entries into this event and that meant the tournament featured an overlay of almost £15,000 making it even better value for the players; if not for the DTD management team. The £50,000 prize pool was shared out among the top 27 finishers, a min-cash being worth £300 and a final table appearance locking up at least £946.

The unfortunate bubble boy was Ian Edwards whilst Matt Russell was the unfortunate soul to narrowly miss out on a final table, busting in 10th place.

At the final table it was Duncan Taylor who was the first player to be eliminated, followed by Colin Marks, Zaheer Ahmed, Jeremy Cook, Harish Sahnan, Gerald Mcinally and Ian Roberts. Their demises left Robin Watkins and Chung to battle it out heads-up for the title, a fight that was eventually won be Chung.

This coming weekend the Dusk Till Dawn club plays host to the APAT European Championship of Amateur Poker and we will be bringing you reports on that once the results have been announced.
