The fourth Ladbrokes Poker LEOCOP festival kicked off yesterday at 7pm with the $10,000 Added $150 Re-buy Sunday Opening Tournament. A field of 440 runners from across Europe all played out for an eventual prize pool of $139,750 (the top 50 were paid and $419 was the bottom prize). A full 850 Re-Buys and 9 hours later the field thinned out to just three players; Hefaistos26 from Sweden, Akolas21 from Dublin and slim-boy30 from Notts, who qualified via a $22 satellite.

Akolas quickly sent slim-boy30 packing in third for $14,673 only to lose out nearly an hour later when his two pair was beaten by Hefaistos' two pair with a higher kicker.
