We begin at GGPoker and the costliest buy-in of the weekend. It ran under the “Bryn High Rollers” sigil and had a $25,000 price tag. The event attracted 28-entrants, and after the Spaniard, Sergi Reixach bubbled, four people finished in the money (ITM).
The former Global Poker Index (GPI) Player of the Year, David Peters, finished fourth, and the two-time Super High Roller Bowl (SHRB) winner, Timothy Adams, finished third.

World Poker Tour Online News
The World Poker Tour’s (WPT) partnership with partypoker continues to roll. We don’t know the full details, but PokerNews UK Editor, Matthew Pitt, noticed two WPT branded events sitting in the partypoker lobby.
There is a $10,300 WPT World Championship Main Event and a Mini Main Event pencilled in for the future. The events will be #9 & #10, suggesting more vice to come.
The $10,300 event features two flights, and everyone begins with 100,000 chips with blinds increasing every 30-minutes. The $1,050 Mini Main Event mirrors its big sister.
