The partypoker Grand Prix UK Main Event started with 5,143 runners (clearing the massive £1,000,000 guarantee by a generous £28,600) across a plethora of Day 1s, both online on partypoker and live at Dusk Till Dawn, through a number of Day 2s, until the field was whittled down to just 53 players coming back for Day 3 at high noon. When it was all over, Robertas Gordonas was the victor, beating Richard King heads-up to take the £150,000 top prize and the Grand Prix UK Main Event trophy.
