Da-Silva Dominates Competitive Final Table to Win 888poker LIVE Coventry ME
It is safe to say that the 888poker LIVE Coventry Main Event was an incredible success. This tournament attracted 812 participants and easily exceeded the stated guarantee. As many as 6 starting flights were played so that everyone could take part at the right time. And in the end, the total prize pool was an impressive £617,120.
Who managed to beat all the opponents and get the coveted champion title? It turned out to be an experienced professional from England Chris Da Silva. Chris's total winnings in live events have exceeded a million dollars, so he has something to brag about offline. According to the champion, he is happy with the big cash win, but he is much happier to receive the title – after all, similar awards have eluded him more than once before.
It is worth noting that the tournament was quite difficult, and the final table was especially strong, where outstanding professionals gathered. In the final heads-up Chris met Mindaugas Kurlenskas and they had a real tense fight, which was closely watched by fans of both players.
In the last hand of the event, the poker players went all in with rather weak hands: king-eight against queen-nine. Chris collected a pair of eights and this was enough to finish the heads-up and get the champion title.
Interestingly, seven representatives of the United Kingdom and one representative of Ireland gathered at the final table. And for the first place Chris received an impressive prize of £125,000.

| 1 | Chris Da Silva | £125,000 |
