In a rapid final table that lasted under four hours Les Fenton came out on top to win the 2012 GUKPT Goliath banking £31,210 and a seat in the GUKPT Champion of Champions. He took the chip lead to heads-up and defeated Mark Harding in a battle that lasted just one hand.

“Good. Really good. It’s about time, ” said Fenton on his win. “I’ve entered a few big ones but I haven’t really gone deep for a while, not since my last final table [GUKPT Luton 2010] but fortunately it’s finally come round.”
The 30-year-old from St Albans started the final table with the chip lead and apart from a brief period when Harding took over he never relinquished it. Fenton, an architect by trade, had a game that was constructed on solid foundations and he couldn’t have designed a better final table performance and simpler conclusion if he tried.

At the start of heads-up Fenton had a 30,000,000 to 18,000,000 chip advantage and all of those betting discs would end up over the line on the opening hand. Fenton raised to 1,000,000 with Ad-10s, Harding shoved with As-7d and Fenton made the call. A board of 8c-Js-8h-9h-7h saw Fenton make a straight and claim the title.
Harding seemed happy enough with second
Harding had come to the final table in third place and soon started making a nuisance of himself. He eliminated Kris Graham in ninth when his queens held up against Graham’s nines. Getting aces (twice) and kings in the first level didn’t do his chances any harm either. And, when he took care of Jacqueline Burrows (Ah-Qh vs As-Jc) to reduce the field to seven he also took the chip lead.
Fenton and Harding proved to be a pretty good wrecking crew taking it in turns to eliminate players. Fenton took care of Phillip Froggatt (seventh), Colin Inskip (fifth) and John Caplan (fourth). Whilst Harding dispatched Gavin Manley (sixth).

Phillip Froggatt – finished seventh
When three-handed play started their two stacks dwarfed that of the plucky Sung yee Hun. The second shortest stack when final play began she had dodged and ducked her way to the final three. When she found Kh-Th on the button she could wait no longer to commit her final five million (12.5 big blinds), Fenton found Ad-Jh and held on the 5h-6h-6s-Qs-Qd board. Her patience though earned her a £15,000 pay day.
