British professional poker players Simon Deadman<\/strong> and James Rann<\/strong> both warmed up for this weekend\u2019s WPT 6-Max Championship<\/strong><\/a> in some style by taking down a WPT Knockout side event on August 6.<\/p>\n

WPT Knockout: $100K Gtd [1-Day Event]<\/h2>\n

Deadman was one of 271 entrants in the $530 buy-in WPT Knockout<\/strong>, a one-day tournament with $100,000 guaranteed. A prize pool of $135,500 was created and half went onto the heads of all the players with the remaining 50% being shared among the top 40 finishers.<\/p>\n

With bounties included, the least any of the eight finalists could win was $2,421. This went to Austria\u2019s Viktor Zsemlye<\/strong>. The Austrian was joined on the rail first by Guntis Aleskins<\/strong> then Brazilian Victor Bergara<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Fifth-place and a combined prize worth $7,127 went to Gytis Lazaununkas<\/strong> before UK-based Romania star Alexandru Papazian<\/strong> collected a combined $8,690 when he busted in fourth.<\/p>\n

The penultimate elimination of the tournament was that of Josh McCully<\/strong> who played all the way over in New Zealand. McCully walked away with $9,244.<\/p>\n

McCully\u2019s exit left Deadman and Santtu Ojala<\/strong> heads-up for the title. The one-on-one battle went Deadman\u2019s way and he scooped a combined prize that weighed in at $25,382, leaving Ojala to bank a still more than respectable $17,364.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

James Rann<\/p><\/div>\n

Rann won the $55 buy-in edition of the WPT knockout and got his hands on the lion\u2019s share of the $75,000 prize pool. Rann defeated Lithuania\u2019s TB<\/strong> to pad his partypoker bankroll with a combined prize worth $9,121, all for a $55 buy-in! TB secured a $6,194 consolation prize.<\/p>\n

Ran came ever so close to becoming a WPT champion back in 2019 when he finished third in the $3,300 WPT UK Main Event<\/strong> at Dusk Till Dawn. That netted Rann $168,500, the second-largest prize of his live career. Now he has another chance of WPT glory this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
