45-year-old Nick Slade, a professional from Preston, Lancashire in the UK took down the biggest title of his career when he scooped $200,000 and the European Open IV title last year. Slade ended up heads-up with 45-year-old Worcester internet sports trader Craig Burgess and both were regarded as outsiders on a final table that also included WSOP Europe winner Annette Obrestad, Juha Helppi, Ian Frazer and Josh Tyler. The players carried their chips through from the semi-finals and Slade was fourth at that stage with 124,000. Former champion Frazer was the chip leader with 469,000, Tyler had 351,000, Obrestad 235,000, Helppi 114,000 and Burgess 107,000. The balance of power swung dramatically throughout with Tyler, Obrestad and Frazer all appearing to be in the box seat at a point. The defining hand that gave Slade the title saw Burgess go all-in with QQ. Slade, who had dominated after going into the heads-up with over 90% of the chips in play held K 3 and paired the K on the flop which held up.
