The ��1 million guarantee partypoker WPT500 at Dusk Till Dawn concluded this past weekend as Eleanor Gudger topped a massive field of 2,133 entrants from seven starting flights to capture the ��140,000 first-place prize.

��I��m so excited, it��s been a great three days of poker,�� Gudger said after the win. ��To come out on top of 2,000-odd players is just unbelievable.��

The recently-engaged Gudger, who hails from Leicester and turned professional 18 months ago, defeated Matthew ��silentnoonan�� Noonan in heads-up play. Interestingly, Gudger had previously taught her father, John Gudger, how to play poker, and in December of 2013 he took down the partypoker WPT National UK London for ��12,750. Clearly poker runs in the family.

��With 2,133 entries, everybody here at Dusk Till Dawn is thrilled for making the first WPT500 in Europe a huge success. We extended the capacity of the club and filled every single seat, and the atmosphere was unbelievable,�� said Simon Trumper, Club Director at Dusk Till Dawn. ��This event was a record-breaker for the club and WPT. Not only did Day 1F break the record for the most unique entries ever in a single day (673 unique entries) at Dusk Till Dawn, but we smashed the record for the biggest field ever for a ��500 buy-in event organized in Europe.��

The event also awarded the top 50 players seats into the ��3,000 buy-in partypoker WPT UK Main Event. Among those to secure a seat were Paul Murphy (41st - $4,761), Willie Tan (35th - $5,158), David Hierro (31st - $5,158), Tomas Fara (25th - $5,554), David Peters (21st - $5,554), and Vesa Jakobsson (14th - $7,935).

According to the WPT Blog, the final hand of the tournament took place in Level 39 (400,000/800,000/100,000) when Noonan shoved holding the A?9? and Guudger called with the A?Q?. Noonan had some kicker issues, and they didn��t get resolved on the K?K?A? flop.

Noonan��s rail began calling for a chop, but that didn��t happen as the 5? blanked on the turn followed by the 4? on the river.

"We haven't got venue or everything sorted out yet, so this will really help,�� said Gudger, who plans to use some of her winnings to pay for the wedding. ��We can pay off some of the mortgage too, which is great!"
