Since kicking off in London’s glittering Empire Casino last Friday, 410 of the world’s best poker players have been battling it out in the first bracelet event of the 2008 World Series of Poker Europe, the £1,500 No Limit Hold’em. The four-day event eclipsed all previous records in becoming the largest poker tournament ever held in London.

Although poker greats such as Phil Ivey, Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson, Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu all flew over the pond for their chance at glory, none of them have made it into today’s final table where the winner will walk away £144,218 richer.
