Brindley wins Betfair.com event

Internet qualifiers Steve Cordy and Richard Collier were knocked out early along with in-form Hendon Mobster Ram Vaswani.

"Bad boy" of poker Tony G continued to dispel the myths by stating before the event that anything he won would go to charity. He was knocked out in 3rd place by William Thorson. The $36,000 he won will be split between The Prince's Trust and Lithuanian charity Bedu Turgus, which looks after people in extreme poverty.

Heads-up Brindley had to contend with his pocket aces being beaten on the river but after almost two hours Thorson went all in with King Jack. Brindley called and his Ace-7 gave him a winning hand of 2-pair (Aces and 9s) before the river card was needed.

Brindley said, "I got to the stage where I was really enjoying playing winning or losing. This is the first televised tournament I've won in 5 years … it means a great deal … more so financially now we have the baby."
