Fraser Bellamy Wins GUKPT Blackpool Mini Main

Sheffield's Fraser Bellamy won the GUKPT Blackpool Mini Main final table and earned £27,945. The event drew 687 entries, the prize pool reached £143,580, and the top 84 players cashed.

Bellamy admitted that luck was on his side at the final table. However, saying "it wasn't 100% luck," he stressed that he had made some correct plays throughout his run. After beating Michael Rosaman, Bellamy added another title to his career.

A three-way deal was made at the final table. The deal left the champion £6,400 and the trophy. Third place went to Ashley Timms. Timms completed a broadway straight, putting his stack in on the turn. Bellamy called with king-jack and made two pair. A king on the river completed Bellamy's full house.

At heads-up, Bellamy's chip lead had reached about five to one. On the final hand, he opened with ace-eight. Rosaman called 17 big blinds with king-queen, and Bellamy called. The flop came ace high and all flush cards. Since Bellamy held a flush, Rosaman had no chance to survive. Rosaman stood up and shook hands with his opponent, and Bellamy was declared the tournament champion.
