A Chinese poker pro living in Dundee, Scotland won the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Champion of Champions event at the weekend topping a field of 125 players to take down the £25,000 first prize.
Haitao Wu, a 30-year-old who made the invitation-only event by winning a £500 side event at the London leg of the GUKPT, beat Darren Annis heads up holding a 2-1 chip lead having knocked out third place finisher Stephen Spring.
Wu was naturally delighted with his score saying, “Kerry [Wu’s girlfriend] has been very supportive, looking after our beautiful daughters when I have been playing. We will have a great Christmas now and will be visiting China early next year, when my parents will meet them (his daughters) for the first time.
“When we come back from China I will continue to play GUKPT events in 2010. The structure is perfect for us to play good poker and the prize money is great as well”
The final table results were:
1: Haitao (Colin) Wu — £25,000
2: Darren Annis — £15,000
3: Stephen Spring — £10,000
