Aug 20, 2012 Over the weekend the Dusk Till Dawn poker club in Nottingham hosted a number of superb live poker tournaments, the highlight being the £150 DTD Deepstack that guaranteed a prize pool of £50,000. Timothy Chung opened for 160,000 from early position and was called by David Callaghan from the big blind. Callaghan check-raised Chung all in after he put out a pot-sized bet of 625,00 on the.
When one of the most-famous UK casinos decides to offer a guaranteed £500,000 prizepool, it’s a dead cert it will attract a big field, and Tim Chung took advantage of the Dusk Till DawnDTD 1000’s popularity to scoop his biggest win to date with a first prize of £76,500 ($101,668).
Building on the success of their DTD 200 events, the casino which Rob Yong transformed out of ‘a crappy old building on an industrial estate in Nottingham’ into one the nation’s best-known poker venues decided to up the ante, a £1000 (+£100) buy-in attracting 274 players. With 228 re-entries on top of that, the prizepool just topped £½million – so a lot to play for.
Tim Chung is a well-known face on the English poker circuit, with cashes going back to 2009 at…Dusk Till Dawn! The DTD 1000, however, dwarfed his previous best payday of £32,815 ($56,007) for winning the Newcastle leg of the Genting Poker Series back in 2014, and follows another well-paid victory just last month in Manchester where he took down the MPN Poker Tour Main Event for £29,900 ($38,958).
Chung found himself up against some very good players in Nottingham, David Vamplew, Robert Romanello and Tom Hall among them, but when Hall hot the rail in 9th spot the final table proper was set – 8 Englishmen and a solitary Spaniard Chuc Khuu, pictured below lifting a title of his own in England back in 2014.
There was to be no repeat of this success for Khuu, falling in 6th spot, and when Sevilla and Bennet followed shortly afterwards, it was time to talk about a deal. Eventually they agreed on an ICM chop, leaving an extra £10k plus the trophy for the winner and £5k for second spot.
Law’s subsequent bust-out saw Chung facing Hyde-based Mark Kelsall for the title and it all came down to a ‘bigger-kicker’ when both players made trip aces on the river, Chung’s king outgunning an unlucky Kelsall’s lowly trey.
