One of the fresh additions to the poker world, Tom Haney, emerged victorious from the newest weekly tournament of Dusk Till Dawn – DTD200. The young UK player has managed to climb on top of the list, after finishing at the runner-up position on a previous occasion.
Haney won the newest DTD200 event that took place over the weekend at Nottigham’s Dusk Till Dawn casino, which featured a guaranteed prize pool of £100,000. The player scooped for a first-place prize estimated to £20,550.
The new weekly tournament, called DTD200, was officially presented by the Dusk Till Dawn at the beginning of the year, offering a buy-in of £220 and a guaranteed prize pool estimated to £100,000. The latest tournament winner, Haney, is known as one of the regular players at Dusk Till Dawn. Earlier this month, on February 11th, he finished as a runner-up, taking home a consolation prize amounting to £12,500. At the latest edition of the weekly tournament, Haney not only got a bigger prize, but also ranked better, occupying the first position.
A total of 135 players got to the tournament on February 26th, with only 53 of them getting a cash portion of the guaranteed prize pool. Ben Vinson became the bubble boy, who was unfortunate enough to get on 54th place. The final table, traditionally, was formed by nine players, with a minimum payment of £2,500. Guy Leathley was the first one to leave, followed by Thuy Vu Nguyen. The rest of the players got eliminated one by one, until the moment of the heads-up clash between Hamney and Gorse.
At the beginning of the heads-up battle, it was Gorse who got the chip lead with a total of 8,670,000 in chips, and Haney got 5,800,000. However, he managed to pull himself together and after more than an hour of play, he emerged victorious from the competition.
With Tom Haney on the first position of the ranking, the runner-up position was occupied by Malcolm Gorse for a guaranteed prize pool portion of £12,250. Alan Armitage remained third, taking home a cash portion of £8,300.
The fourth position was occupied by Anthony Kennedy, followed by Robert Baker. Number six remained anonymous, winning a prize of £4,150. Chi Ken Yau was seventh, and the eighth position was occupied by Thuy Vu Nguyen. Guy Leathley remained ninth, scooping a prize of £2,500.
