Griffin Benger wasn’t the only notable pro who won a side event at EPT London yesterday as English pro Jon Eames won the £2,000 No-Limit Hold’em event for £98,430.
The IveyPoker pro outlasted 172 players to take top honors in the event, which offered an overall prizepool of £333,680, and then beat Canadian Mike Watson heads-up to secure victory.
It’s not the first time that Eames has had success on the European Poker Tour. He won an EPT Prague prelim in 2011 and another in EPT Vienna in 2010.
The Southport native now has over $1.5 million in lifetime live tournament winnings.
Team PokerStars Jonathan Duhamel finished 11th in the tournament.
