The latest leg of the Unibet Open is in the book with Britain's Daniel Smith triumphing in Cannes.
The British pro topped a field of 457 runners at the Casino Barriere de la Croisette to pocket a first prize of €88,000. Now based in Monaco, Smith topped a high-class final table that included former Unibet Open finalists Davor Pavic and Krzysztof Stuchlik and fellow Brit Vinod Jadav.The home challenge was strong too with 2008 Partouche Poker Tour Main Event winner Alain Roy also making a deep run. The Frenchman's challenge stalled in third place though, leaving Smith to battle it out with Michael Nielsen for the title.The Brit faced a big chip deficit at the start of heads up play but took control after an early double up with As9h against the Dane's KcJc. Smith didn't look back after taking the lead and eventually prevailed when his KK prevailed against Nielsen's KhQs.The final table positions and payouts were as follows:1 Daniel Smith United Kingdom €880002 Michael Nielsen Denmark €620003 Alain Roy France €400004 Davor Pavic Sweden €300005 Krzysztof Stuchlik Poland €220006 Nicolas Le Floch France €182707 Vinod Jadav United Kingdom €146008 Daniel Johansson Sweden €112009 Giuseppe Zarbo France €8800The Unibet Open caravan heads to the UK for its next top.
