Congrats to Gary Miller for winning the Spring Poker Fest £600 Main Event for £30,500 at Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City in East London after agreeing to a heads-up deal with Adrian Cazacu.

Miller accomplished a rare feat en route to winning the title. He took the chip lead midway through Day 2 in a monster pot against Jen Chiang when his big slick got there against cowboys to take the chip lead and never let go of the chip lead until he was the final player standing.

Miller is a well-accomplished cash game player but has displayed his skills in the past with nearly $1 million in live tournament earnings according to The Hendon Mob. Earlier this week, Miller won a trophy by shipping the Spring Poker Festival High Roller, and that trophy now has a partner after completing an amazing week this festival.

The Spring Poker Fest was a big hit with 313 entries creating a £163,950 prize pool to smash the £150,000 guarantee.

Final Day Action

The third and final day of the Spring Poker Fest began with 21 hopefuls with Miller kicking off the day with nearly double the stack of his nearest competitor in Hamid Rowshanaei.

Miller was on fire eliminating several players before the final table was reached and extended his chip lead to nearly triple the stack his nearest competitors in Sebastian Jung, Valentin Florin Lupastean, and Adrian Cazacu.

Alexandre Richardson (ninth - £3,600) was the first to hit the rail at the final table on a bit of a cooler. He flopped a better two-pair than Rowshanaei. The duo got it in on the flop only for Rowshanaei to hit a runner-runner flush to send Richardson packing.

Minutes later, Stephane Nadot won a flip to eliminate Nicolai Cravciuc (eighth - £4,700) when his jacks were good against a suited big slick.

Rowshanaei's run was then over about an hour later. He got his chips in with top pair with king-nine suited. Jung held ace-jack with both the nut-flush draw and a gutshot draw to Broadway. The flush was completed on the river to eliminate Rowshanaei in seventh place for £5,900.

Shortly after, Hongting Xu jammed his short stack with ace-nine suited. Miller called with ten-seven and flopped two pair to eliminate Xu in sixth place for £7,200. Xu stuck around for a while to rail the final table before heading off once Jung was eliminated a few hours later.

Cazacu got heated a few times with Nadot. For the most part, he seemed less than thrilled about Nadot's pace of play. He was able to get his revenge. Nadot jammed a short stack with treys and ran into Cazacu's flush with queen-seven suited to head to the exit in fifth place for £8,800.

Shortly after, Lupastean took a horrible beat but you can't blame Cazacu for getting involved. At first Cazacu was upset that his kings ran into aces. However, a king hit the flop and Lupastean was on the rail in fourth place for £12,500.

The clock was then reduced from one-hour blind levels to 40-minute blind levels. But this didn't change much as it was quickly over after this. Jung jammed his stack with six-five for two pair on the river. However, Miller rivered a better two-pair with queen trey to eliminate Jung in third place for £16,500.

Miller held around a 3:2 chip advantage against Cazacu to commence the heads-up action. The duo briefly discussed a deal but then opted to play a few hands. After that, a break was taken and the payouts were evened out from the £35,500 due to the winner and the £23,500 set for the runner-up. Instead, Miller collected £30,500 and the coveted trophy while Cazacu collected a tasty £28,500 runner-up prize.

The deal was contingent on the duo playing a 7-card Omaha bomb pot for £200. Cazacu wouldn't have it any other way and won the bombed pot which took place after the outcome was determined.

Congrats to Gary Miller for winning not one, but two trophies this week! Stay tuned at MainEventTravel.com for coverage of future events.

* Reflects heads-up deal.

The final two players agreed to a deal with Gary Miller officially winning the event for £30,500 and Adrian Cazacu taking second place for £28,500.

Cazacu took home £5,000 more than if he finished second while Miller took home £7,000 more than second place but £5,000 less than the £35,500 top prize that was on the line before the deal was made.

Cazacu only would agree to the deal if they had a 7-card Omaha bomb pot for £200. He won that but this isn't the official part of the payouts.

Congrats to Gary Miller for shipping the Spring Poker Fest Main Event! Stay tuned as we will take a few photos of Miller before wrapping up the blog.

Cards are in the air for the final day of the Main Event. Time will tell who will be the winner this evening.

Welcome back to our coverage powered by MainEventTravel.com of the 2023 Spring Poker Fest £600 Main Event at Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City.

The field is down from the 313 entries to just 21 hopefuls for the title with each player already locking up £1,400. All the players have their eyes on much more with a £35,500 top prize for the player that ultimately hoists the trophy.

Gary Miller (pictured above), who already won the High Roller earlier this week, is the King of the mountain. While many in the United Kingdom were busy with the official coronation of King Charles, Miller was busy building a massive stack and has around 20 percent of the chips in play with 1.8 million in chips.

Miller is currently doing something unusual but there is a good reason for it. On our way into the casino, we noticed Miller playing a different tournament as today is the day for the Cash Game Race tournament where the winner will win a load of cash and a trip to Las Vegas. Miller shared he already won a Vegas package but won't turn down free value.

"I was given permission to multi-table both tournaments," Miller explained. "However, I do not plan to miss a hand of the Main Event."

No other player will begin today with a seven-figure stack with Hamid Rowshanaei (962,000), Sebastien Jung (686,000), Hongting Xu (658,000), and Stephane Nadot (552,000) as his nearest competitors.

Of course, that can all change pretty fast despite the amazing structure with one-hour blind levels starting at 5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 big blind ante.

The action kicks off at 3 p.m. today. Stay tuned to MainEventTravel.com to see who will win the Spring Poker Fest Main Event.
