Tuan Le wins PokerStars Open Manchester £1,100 Main Event in dramatic finale
Tuan Le has claimed victory in the PokerStars Open Manchester £1,100 Main Event. The UK player outlasted a field of 927 entries to secure the title and a six-figure payout. His win marks his second PokerStars trophy in recent years. The tournament reached its climax with a dramatic heads-up battle between Le and Christopher Brammer. Their match stretched over two hours before an emergency alarm forced a temporary evacuation of the venue. Play resumed shortly after, with both players agreeing to a deal that split the remaining prize pool.
Under the terms of the deal, Le and Brammer locked in £149,200 and £134,200 respectively, leaving £15,000 and the trophy up for grabs. Le ultimately delivered the final blow, securing the title and the extra cash. His previous victory came at the 2023 UKIPT Blackpool Main Event, reinforcing his reputation as a strong tournament player. The event drew 927 hopefuls, all competing for a share of the £1,000,000 prize pool. Brammer’s second-place finish earned him a significant payday, while Le walked away with the top honours and his second PokerStars title.
Le’s victory adds another trophy to his collection and confirms his place among the UK’s top poker players. The tournament’s £1,000,000 prize pool was shared among the finalists, with the top two taking home a combined £283,400. Both players now turn their attention to future events on the circuit.
