Betfred juiced the prize pool to the tune of £1,500 before Curzon got heads up with Angela Evis at the final table. Curzon pushed all in after Evis raised with 9-9. Evis called, showed her pocket pair and Curzon turned over J 8. The flop came down 10-5-3 and two hearts but a jack on the turn sealed the deal for Curzon.
