Hungary’s Richard Broda made the trip to the United Kingdom pay off, winning the £340 Mini Main Event at the 888LIVE London festival. He started the nine-handed final table third in chips before going on to secure the title and a £26,220 prize.
The result marks Broda’s third-biggest career score, trailing only his $55,000 cash from the 2025 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event and a $307,000 runner-up finish at the 2025 Dolce Vita Series in Northern Cyprus. The win pushes his lifetime live tournament earnings close to the $500,000 mark.
The £114,560 prize pool, generated by 402 entrants, paid out to the top 50 finishers, among them recognizable names such as Oliver Hutchins, Christopher Day, Adam Wilkinson, Vikram Mehta, and Yucel Eminoglu.
At the final table, short stack Artin Bazai fell first in ninth for £1,900, followed by Hanyang Shi in eighth (£2,300) and Greg Hawes in seventh (£2,860). Philip Corion, fresh off a deep EPT Barcelona Mystery Bounty run, exited sixth for £3,730, while Lithuania’s Tomas Dailidonis, a recent Las Vegas final-table regular, busted fifth for £5,170.
Michael Long earned a career-best £7,580 in fourth, and India’s Pranav Agarwal, who has enjoyed a strong year including a GUKPT UK Open Cup title, took third for £11,490.
In heads-up play, Broda’s experience proved decisive against Guang Yang, who was competing in his third career final table. Yang’s £17,520 runner-up prize more than doubled his previous best result.
