Gajanthan Kamalanathan Finishes as Second Runner-Up, Wins £7,060 Prize Money
Christian Watt, the winner of the £150 Mini Main Event during the 2025 PartyPoker Tour Glasgow, made a notable run in the £500 Main Event. With 256 entries and a prize pool of £111,820, the tournament featured some of the best poker talent [1].
On Day 2 of the event, Watt was among the 66 players remaining, advancing towards the final stages. The tournament structure allowed players multiple entries and four starting-day flights, with survivors bagging chips for Day 2 [1].
Watt's journey continued as he made it to the final table, joining players such as Dean Lyall, Alan Chrzaszcz, and David Lappin, who was the chip leader entering the final table [2]. Although Watt's exact chip count at the final table is not specified, his prior victory and continued deep run made him a significant contender [2].
During the final table, several notable moments occurred. Alan Chrzaszcz was the first to be eliminated, losing to Kyle Scott. Dean Lyall doubled up early, while David Lappin secured a major pot win to become the chip leader heading into the final day [1][2]. However, specific hands or crucial moments involving Christian Watt were not detailed in the available information [1][2].
The highlight of Watt's Glasgow series, however, was his win in the £150 Mini Main Event, where he eliminated Gajanthan Kamalanathan to take home £10,260 [1].
Recently, a critical hand unfolded between Watt and Kamalanathan. Watt held an Ace-King (A♥K♣), while Kamalanathan had Queens-Ten (Q♥10♥). The turn card was a Jack (J♠), providing Kamalanathan with additional outs. Watt opened with a bet of 900,000, and Kamalanathan called all-in, resulting in a pot value equal to the total chips of both players (5,925,000) [3].
The flop came 6♣3♣9♥, with Watt maintaining his lead. The river card was a 7♥, which did not help Kamalanathan, resulting in his elimination from the tournament [3]. The hand is currently being played on the Button, with a potential win of 5,925,000 for the winner of the hand [3].
The game is in a critical stage, with a significant amount of chips at stake. The outcome of the hand will significantly impact the tournament standings for both players [3]. Christian Watt, the most experienced player in the tournament, was eliminated in second place [4]. Gajanthan Kamalanathan, despite the elimination, won £7,060 [4].
