He took full advantage of the opportunity and turned that into a seventh-place finish which awarded him £22,510. That's exactly what Brampton did as he won his seat for free on a live stream giveaway.
You often hear of players getting into a tournament on the cheap and then parlaying that into a tidy score. One of the best stories of the 2023 Goliath was the deep run that Nigel Brampton put in. Picot collected £15,880, while Seagar saw his payout jump to £18,530. Shortly after, Seagar found himself on the wrong side of the rail after his ace-queen failed to crack the pocket kings that belonged to Wane Penford. William Picot was the first departure as the short stack couldn't connect with his queen-nine against the ace-king held by Peter Seagar after stacks were committed preflop. Todd remained in the upper echelons of the chip counts and was only behind Yu-San Chan when the final table formed.
and six hours later, the final nine players had been determined.
