The BlueSqPoker.com Grosvenor Grand Prix has been won by Ash Hussain. The pot-limit hold’em event attracted 58 players and represented fantastic value to the participants as the sponsor added £25,000 to the prize pool.
Uniquely players could not buy in directly to the event but had to qualify through £50 rebuy satellites.
Hussain beat Ash Ahmed heads up, after dominating the tournament until three-handed when his 9-7 made a straight against Ahmed’s K-5. He lifted £20,948 for his victory. Two years ago his brother Zahir “Zippy” Aslam won the event while Ahmed finished fourth in the event last year.
“Having had the best part of a year away from poker, I am delighted to have made my comeback to the game in this manner,” said Hussain. He now plans a full time return to poker.
Hussain also won seats in the upcoming £3,000 Grand Final of the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour and the £75,000 Champion of Champions tournament.
The next stop on the GUKPT tour is the G Casino in Blackpool from Nov. 8 with the main event taking place from Nov. 13 to 16.
