The London leg of the Grosvenor 25/25 Series was always likely to be big but even organisers were a little taken aback when the final numbers were tallied up.

That represents a record for the 25/25 Series, breaking the 460 who took part in last year's event at the Goliath festival in Coventry.With big sums of money on offer, the final eight in London agreed a final table chop to level the payouts.In the end it was Sherif Agamir who prevailed, pipping Martin Bader to the trophy. They both took home £14,330 apiece with no fewer than eight players turning £200 into at least five grand!25/25 Series London Final Table Payouts1 Sherif Agamir £14,3302 Martin Bader £14,3303 Platon Tserliangos £10,2304 Gavin Kan £8,4305 Jeremy Brown £7,5406 Umberan Akhtar £5,0007 James Mcbride £5,0008 Onur Guven £5,000 9 Daniel Toffel £1,500The 25/25 Series take a break for the next couple of weeks before returning from 16-19 April with a trio of events in Didsbury in Manchester, Birmingham and Southampton.The buy-in is once again £200+£20 with £25,000 guaranteed.
