Hurst wins SPT Cardiff
Sheffield youngster Jamie "Hurst05" Hurst won the fifth leg of the 2010-11 Sky Poker Tour this weekend at the Les Croupiers Casino in Cardiff, beating 160 other Sky Poker players to the title, £3,300 and a seat into the upcoming Sky Poker Tour Grand Final in Nottingham.
Hurst beat Daniel Royle and Carl "TIMBER" Taylor to the title. Incredibly this was Taylor's second ever live game, the first being the night before, and he took the lion's share of the cash, £4,000 in a three way deal towards the conclusion of the event.
The Sky Poker Tour now moves onto the £40,000 Guaranteed Grand Final at DTD in Nottingham on September 2011-11 . Satellites to win entry into this event are already in the www.skypoker.com lobby, and direct entry for £220 is available too
