Fraser Bellamy of Sheffield won the £250 GUKPT Blackpool Mini Main and collected £27,945, beating Michael Rosaman heads-up. According to PokerNews, Bellamy said luck was on his side at the final table but added, "It wasn't 100% luck."

The cashier processed 687 entries, building a £143,580 prize pool shared among the top 84. All nine finalists secured at least £2,040, the amount George Heath took in ninth. Peter Stewart (£2,590), Neil Woolfrey (£3,390), Sam Hughes (£4,600), Gary Fowler (£6,480) and Connor Heelis (£9,330) followed in the next five exits.

The last three players agreed a deal that left £6,400 extra, plus the trophy, for the winner. Ashley Timms went out in third after committing his stack on the turn with a straight. Bellamy called with king-jack, made a full house on the river and moved into heads-up play.

Bellamy held a chip lead of almost five-to-one for the last hand. He opened with ace-eight, Rosaman shoved 17 big blinds with king-queen, and Bellamy called. The ace-high, all-club flop suited Bellamy, who held a club, and Rosaman was drawing dead by the turn.

Elsewhere, David Doherty won the £1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller for £11,870 from a field of 22, and Keith Littlewood took £3,690 in the £200 Turbo. Day 2 of the £1,500 High Roller resumes today, after 43 Day 1 entries left a £40,600 overlay on the £100,000 guarantee.
