*reflects a heads-up deal that left $50,000 for the champion<\/em><\/p>\n

Some 209 players turned out for the $5,300 buy-in Devilfish Cup, ensuring the $1 million guarantee was hit. Each and every one of the $300 tournament fees were donated to charity, meaning the players raised more than $62,000 for good causes.<\/p>\n

Plenty of Team partypoker players were among those who started with high hopes of becoming the tournament\u2019s champion, but who ultimately busted before the money. These included Bruno Fitoussi<\/a>.<\/strong> Four-time boxing world champion Carl Froch<\/strong>, our boss Tom Waters<\/strong><\/a>, Bertrand \u201cElkY\u201d Grospellier<\/a><\/strong>, Charlie Godwin<\/strong>, Roberto Romanello<\/strong><\/a>, Ludovic Geilich<\/strong><\/a>, Padraig Parkinson<\/a>, Sam Trickett<\/strong><\/a>, and Marcel Luske<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Money Bubble Bursts<\/h2>\n

Luske busted in 27th place with 23 places paid. At least \u201cThe Flying Dutchman\u201d didn\u2019t burst the money bubble, that dubious honour went to Daniel Wilson<\/strong> who was the last player to leave the tournament floor empty-handed.<\/p>\n

Several established, big-name pros secured some prize money. These included partypoker LIVE President John Duthie<\/strong><\/a>, Jack Salter<\/strong>, reigning WSOP Europe Main Event champion Jack Sinclair<\/strong>, Jake Cody<\/strong>, and Kahle Burns<\/strong>, the latter busting in ninth-place to set the official final table.<\/p>\n

Dominic Cullen<\/strong> was the first player to bust from the final table, his eighth-place finish yielding a $26,000 prize. Cullen was joined on the rail by online superstar Scott Margereson<\/strong> and then Dusk Till Dawn\u2019s Simon Trumper<\/strong>. This duo banked $33,000 and $43,000 respectively.<\/p>\n

Tom Hall<\/strong> followed Trumper to the cashier\u2019s desk to collect $58,000 after falling in fifth-place before Jack Sandford crashed out in fourth for an $80,000 addition to his bankroll.<\/p>\n

First Six-Figure Prize Awarded<\/h2>\n

Third-place and $115,150 went to Austria\u2019s Fabian Gumz<\/strong>, which set up a heads-up battle Trigg and Paul Siddle<\/strong>. The last standing duo struck a deal that locked up $200,000 for each of them and left an additional $50,000 for the champion.<\/p>\n

That champion turned out to be Trigg after Siddle pushed all-in with on the board only for Trigg to snap him off with for trip eights. The river was the , Siddle crashed out in second-place and Trigg was crowned the 2019 Devilfish Cup champion.<\/p>\n

Focus now switched to the $1.5 million guaranteed WPT UK Main Event<\/strong><\/a>. Will Trigg go back-to-back? Only time will tell. Stay tuned to partypoker and partypoker live for all the news from the WPT UK festival.<\/p>\n
