December 2014 has a been a year for repeat winners. Keith Brennan won his second Fitzwilliam Festival title in Dublin. Alessio Isaia claimed a second Italian Poker Tour title in San Remo while Liam Batey became the first player to win two GUKPT 25/25 events after doing the business in Nottingham earlier this month.

Greg Hunt is the latest player to join the double-win club. Hunt topped a field of 630 runners to claim the Grosvenor North West Christmas Cracker in Manchester on Sunday, repeating the win he claimed in the same event in 2013.
