After surviving a field of 589 players who paid an amount of E500 + 60 in order to enter this main event Max Silver succeeded in taking the first place prize of E 72,000 as well as an entry into the GBP 5,250 PokerStars.com EPT London Event. This particular event is the season finale to the UK & Ireland Poker Tour.
Silver commented that it did not really sink in that he could win until they got to the last four and that it feels absolutely wonderful to win. In response to being questioned about the EPT London seat he replied that it was a nice bonus even though he had already planned to play London. He added that he was eagerly waiting to get back to his home town and would be playing many events there – hopefully just one all the way through.
