Marius Conan Wins £91,170 in 888LIVE London Main Event
Marius Conan won the 2026 888LIVE London Main Event at Grosvenor Victoria Casino on October 18, collecting £91,170 and adding a London championship to his earlier WSOP Circuit Main Event title in Paris.
Nathan Cohen finished runner-up for £60,550. The £1,250 no-limit hold'em tournament attracted 379 entries, generated a £396,050 prize pool and paid 50 places.
Another Main Event title for Conan
The French player's London win came nine years after his 2017 WSOP Circuit Paris victory. His intervening results include 16th place in the 2018 European Poker Tour Barcelona Main Event for €69,340.
Those results put the London championship in context: Conan arrived with experience of deep runs on several circuits, rather than earning his first significant result at the Vic.
A lead recovered, then a heads-up finish
Conan began the nine-player final table with the largest stack, but his path to the title was not uninterrupted. PokerNews' live coverage documented an all-in double with pocket jacks against ace-king as he recovered from a short stack.
Cohen doubled twice during heads-up play to keep the match alive. The deciding hand brought Conan's ace-ten against Cohen's king-ten; Conan flopped an ace-high straight, and Cohen's eventual three kings could not overtake it.
The finishing order and payouts are confirmed in the completed event results. Conan's championship closed the festival's Main Event, which ran from October 15–18 within the wider London series.
