MARTIN SILKE LONDON GUKPT CHAMP!

About 8 small skirmishes later, there's been almost no change to the chip stacks; they're very even. Until THIS happens:

Martin Silke raises 170k preflop, called by Luke Trotman. Trotman checks the As-7h-9d flop - Silke bets 180k. Call. The turn is the Jc. Again, Trotman checks; again Silke bets - 450k. Pause as the action goes back to Trotman, who moves in...

... Silke makes the call and is ahead with A-K vs. Trotman's A-4. The river bricks the Ts and after a long agonising countdown...


... it is determined that Martin Silke has him covered and is therefore the 2009 GUKPT Vic Champion winning - officially - £172,850) and Luke Trotman is Runner Up winning - officially - £103,000. It's definitely a shedload of money apiece, however.

Presentation Ceremony awaits...
