Sirious Salehi Takes Goliath Lead

Sirious Salehi Takes Goliath Lead

Wednesday, 12 August 2015

There's a new name at the head of the GUKPT Goliath chip counts after yet another busy day at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.

A bright, sunny day in the midlands didn't put off another 451 players from anteing up on Day 1D on Tuesday. After 16 levels of play, that impressive starting list had been whittled down to just 51 players, who have all booked their place on Saturday.

Leading the way at the close was Sirious Salehi who bagged up a massive stack of 833,000 which was plenty good enough to give him the overall lead.

Others to make a great start to their campaign to conquer Goliath included Richard Simmonds (502,500), Siye Zhang (494,000) and Sacha Brooks (406,000) who were the only other players to crack the 400,000 barrier.

It wasn't to be for our own Jeff Kimber who bowed out after having his aces cracked. He'll be firing another bullet and hoping for more luck on Thursday.
