Day 2 saw the return of our 14 Pro players, with big swings in chips by almost all players. The chip lead changed on many occasions throughout the day, but we eventually got down to our final 2 players, Steve Burgess and Andrew Fleming. After a great heads up, Andrew took out the tournament after coming into Day 2 as chip leader, picking himself up over $14,000 cash and the Grand Champion Trophy in the process!
Congratulations Andrew on such a great effort over both days!
In the Free League Grand Final held on Sunday, we had 69 players fighting it out for the Free League Champion Title. In what was a great tournament full of fun, we eventually saw heads up between Lee Matfield and Steven McCarthy, with veteran Steve taking out the title! Congratulations Steven for your great win!
