There was more exciting poker action in the United Kingdom this past week, as there was a compelling competition in Nottingham in the form of the PPC UK Main Event. There was a very familiar face that reigned supreme at the PartyPoker event, as the extremely popular Waheed Ashraf saw off the competition to pick up yet enough win at DTD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very few players have picked up more victories at the venue during their career than Ashraf, as only Steve O\u2019Dwyer, Anton Suarez, Alex Foxen and Maria Lampropulos have more regularly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week\u2019s event was a \u00a3560 buy-in competition on the PartyPoker Players Champions UK Main Event. There were very more popular winners throughout the series too, as fans were quick to try and jump in to a celebratory picture with the eventual winner after he picked up his trophy. There was a competitive final table of action at the Dusk Till Dawn, with Ashraf coming up against Mitchell Johnson in the heads-up challenge. Both players are regularly seen playing at the venue, but this time, the victory went the way of Ashraf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The popular players eventually cut a deal in the final stages of the heads-up, which ensures that Ashraf won returns of \u00a366,271 in prize money. Meanwhile, Johnson, who may have been disappointed not to have won the event, would have still been happy with the returns he picked up, as he won \u00a360,979 in the huge event. The battle between the pair made for compelling entertainment earlier in the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
