There were a number of big stories brewing, as the Super Circuit Main Event thinned to its final few tables.
At one point it looked like Dean Hutchison and Toby Lewis would achieve a stunning double – making the final table here, less than a month after doing so in the WSOP Main Event. Alas, it wasn’t to be.
Lewis did make the final nine, but Hutchison fell just short. Having battled through the field of 910 entrants, he was eliminated in 15th place.
But perhaps the biggest fairytale would have come from Lodewijk Hahn…
Hahn entered the tournament by accident, thinking he’d entered a satellite for an online series. Having won a seat in what turned out to be a live event, the Netherlander had to make some hasty travel plans.
Although Hahn was unable to bag the W, his bankroll now looks a lot healthier. His Hendon Mob page, which had just £946 listed before today, has just received a boost to the tune of £25,500, courtesy of his 11th-place finish. GG sir!
