Niall Farrell is the only player in our UK spotlight who has won an EPT Main Event, doing so in October 2015 when he triumphed in Malta, a result that netted Farrell €534,330.

Since his EPT win, Farrell has cashed in 15 major live tournaments, including a brace of cashes at the EPT Grand Final worth a combined €194,680, and six cashes at this year’s World Series of Poker (WSOP) including an eighth-place finish in the High Roller for One Drop worth a cool $486,383.

To date, Farrell has $2,917,538 in live tournament winnings, an additional $2,699,575 from his online exploits, and is ranked 34th in the world by the Global Poker Index.
