None of them could match Luke Fields though who eliminated a string of players to set up a heads up clash with Tim Flanders. Fields went into two-handed play with the chip lead but the stacks evened out somewhat after Flanders' pocket 5s outran Fields' AK. Fields' retook control though and eventually sealed the win holding A8 against a short stacked Flanders' K6. The board brought no help leaving Flanders to settle for £6,700, a fine result considering he started the final table as the short stack.


Fields pocketed £9,250, the trophy plus a seat in the end of season Champion of Champions event in Coventry in November.
