A banker from Manchester has beaten amateur and professional poker players alike to win the Liverpool leg of the Gala Casinos British Poker Tour (GCBPT) and landed the title of Liverpool GCBPT champion. Zack Ford beat a field of 229 runners to scoop the £26,000 prize following a final table deal in another sell-out GCBPT main event. Zack, a 34-year-old bank compliance adviser for the Co-Operative bank in Manchester, won on his first appearance at the GCBPT. He will now go forward to the UK final which will see the tour return to Gala’s flagship Harbourside Casino in Bristol from 1st to 7th December, where he will compete against regional winners from across the country for the coveted GCBPT championship title. Zack said: “I had been up and down throughout the tournament and nearly went out on the first day when I went down to 1,300 chips. It’s been a really nail-biting run but I’m delighted to have won at a great event in a great city.”
This is the second year of the GCBPT, which was created in response to poker’s ever increasing popularity across the UK. As well as a massive cash prize pool in excess of £1 million, poker professionals, amateur players and poker novices alike will compete for the ultimate accolade of GCBPT Champion 2008.
