• Andrew "Stato_1" Hulme Wins Big Again

Every poker tournament player dreams of winning their first major title. Over the weekend, Jiawei Wan turned such dreams into reality after taking down the £1,100 buy-in UK Poker Championships Main Event at Dusk Till Dawn for a career-best £113,400.

Prior to this impressive victory, Wan had only four cashes on his Hendon Mob profile. The largest of those was £3,000, his reward for finishing seventh in the £250 WSOPC UK Mini Main Event in 2024, ironically, at Dusk Till Dawn. Wan now has a win under his belt and his first six-figure haul.

Wan's prize could have been even larger if not for the final six UKPC Main Event players opting to strike an ICM-based deal; the deal left £20,000 to play for. Six-handed deals are rare, but this one worked out for Wan, who defeated Tamer Kamel to capture the title and an additional £20,000.

A field of 847 left Dusk Till Dawn nursing an overlay on the £1 million guaranteed prize pool. That seven-figure pot was shared among the top 125 finishers. Alex Montgomery, Timothy Chung, Callum Gordon, Brandon Sheils, Christopher Brammer, and Ryan Mandara were among the in-the-money finishers.

Each of the nine finalists locked in £12,250 for their efforts. Angelo Avanzato collected that sum shortly after falling in ninth. Naith Hanchard busted in eighth for £17,250 before Philip Clarke crashed out in seventh for £22,520.

With Clarke out of the way, the surviving six players paused the tournament clock and discussed a deal, with £558,750 of the £1 million prize pool still to play for. Those discussions bore fruit, and play resumed with players guaranteed between £78,915 and £103,080; £20,000 was set aside for the eventual champion.

An anonymous player bowed out in sixth and scooped £79,375, with Nicholas Drinkwater's fifth-place finish earning him £100,530, more than 14 times larger than his previous best live poker tournament cash.

Fourth place and £83,410 went to Oliver Bell, leaving only three hopefuls in contention for the title. Those three became two with the untimely demise of Martin Hellmuth. In January 2024, Hellmuth won his first five-figure prize. Fastforward 14 months, and he now has a six-figure score, namely £100,530, on his resume.

Hellmuth's demise left the inexperienced Wan in a one-on-one battle with the popular Tamer Kamel. Wan emerged victoriously from the heads-up battle and secured a £113,440 payday, resigning Kamel to a £78,915 consolation prize.

Andrew "Stato_1" Hulme Wins Big Again

Andrew "Stato_1" Hulme was the festival's biggest winner outside of the Main Event. Hulme triumphed in the £2,200 High Roller, leaving 89 opponents in his wake as he collected another £49,340 in prize money.

Hulme, pictured above flanked by third placed Jack O'Neill and runner-up Brandon Sheils, won the £1,500 UK Open in Coventry in February for £219,720 only five months after reeling in a €1,165,614 career-best prize in the European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona Main Event.

Other six-figure top prizes went to Daniel Jackson, champion of the £2,200 6-Max High Roller for £33,585, and Baktash Parsa, who scooped £21,385 for winning the £280 Warm Up.
