Nathwani secures victory with pocket pair of 5s

2008-03-10 14:04:54

A pocket pair of fives secured victory for Ketul Nathwani during a poker tournament in London on Sunday.

The victor joins fellow successful card players Julian Thew, who won in Brighton in January, and Jeff Kimber, the Walsall-leg winner, in reaching the Grand Final of the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour.

England's capital hosts this competition in November this year.

Nathwani won a cheque for £199,780 for his troubles, as well as the prestige of making it through to such a well-regarded tournament and the chance to earn more money in the process.

Following the leader were Anthony Phillips, Dan Samson and David Rudling, who made up the top four.

Runner-up Phillips picked up a prize of £69,960, while Samson took home £50,880 and Rudling - who qualified via the internet - went away £33,920 better off.
