Marty Smyth produced a brilliant comeback to win the Ladbrokes Poker Million VII and pocket $ 1,000,000 in Friday night’s live final on Sky Sports 3.

The Belfast man was appearing in his third consecutive Poker Million final but found himself with just 15,000 in chips inside the first level after Liam Flood’s kings held up against Smyth’s A-K. Smyth rode his luck as the short-stack to get back to parity then produced some fantastic poker to end up heads-up with Eoghan O’Dea and eventually win the big prize.

“That sort of stuff doesn’t happen,” said Smyth of his comeback in the final.
