And Jonas Dewals from the Seychelles emerged as the winner in the Add-On for Charity - held in tribute to Kevin Douce - while his compatriot, Murielle Dewals, won the Ladies of Poker event, beating 11 other entrants on her way to glory.

Lastly, Richard Chan of Mauritius quickly bettered the second place finish he achieved on the first day, seeing off 50 challengers as he secured first place and the title in the Head Hunter tournament.
