With the increased buy-in —  $75,000 — and the added money raised to $350,000 also, there is a total prize pool of $1.25 million. The event took place in London from Nov. 24 to 30.

Last year the final leader board looked like this:

  1. Andy Black (Ireland) — $316,000
  2. Roland De Wolfe (England) — $160,000
  3. Tony G (Lithuania) — $136,000
