Marius Conan has won the 888LIVE London £1,250 Main Event, topping a 379-entry field to secure the £91,170 first-place prize at the Grosvenor Victoria Casino. Conan defeated Nathan Cohen in a short heads-up battle to claim the title.
Conan is the younger brother of French super high roller Arthur Conan, who has amassed more than $4 million in live earnings, including a WSOP bracelet and a WPT title. Marius has built his own resume, including a WSOP Circuit Main Event win in Paris in 2017 and a deep run at EPT Barcelona in 2018. The victory pushes his career live earnings past $500,000.
Conan entered the final table as chip leader after a steady run through the tournament, finishing as a top stack on Day 1a and taking the overall lead heading into the final table. He described the event as a smooth experience with few setbacks along the way.
The final table saw several notable eliminations, including Alexios Zervos in ninth and Pascal Pflock in seventh. Nicu Toderascu briefly seized the chip lead with a full house but was eventually eliminated in third place after a costly confrontation with Conan, who rivered top pair of kings to bust him.
Conan carried a commanding lead into heads-up play against Cohen. After a back-and-forth exchange that saw Cohen double up twice, Conan sealed the win when his ace-ten made the nut straight against Cohen’s king-ten.
Conan credited much of his poker development to his brother Arthur, who was present for the win, and said he plans to return to London next year. The 888LIVE series next moves to Madrid in January.
