Goliath Super High Roller | Jamie Dwan wins his second title in three weeks, defeating Brandon Sheils for £47,200.

On July 30, 2026, Jamie Dwan continued his hot streak, defeating 89 players in the £2,000 Super High Roller at the Goliath Poker Festival in Coventry, UK, to win the championship and a prize of £47,200.

Just three weeks ago, Dwan won the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller event in Las Vegas, earning his first gold bracelet and his highest personal prize of $2,276,691. Now, with the addition of the Goliath Super High Roller trophy, he has achieved two major championship breakthroughs in just three weeks.

89 people participated, and the total prize pool reached £152,200

This £2,000 Goliath Super High Roller attracted 89 participants, creating a total prize pool of £152,200, with the top ten players advancing to the money box.

Naim Atakas became the first player to win prize money, finishing in tenth place and earning £4,250, thus securing the official nine-player final table.

The final table is packed with top players.

The nine-player final table features several in-form British and European players, including Brandon Sheils, who just won the £1,500 High Roller at Goliath; Yuzhou Yin, the third-place finisher in the GUKPT Goliath Main Event; and Daniel Carney and Paul Tait, who won prize money in the 2026 WSOP Main Event.

Dwan will not be facing a typical final table, but rather a group of opponents who have just finished deep runs at the WSOP or Goliath Poker Festival.

Paul Tait finished ninth, while Davenport approached $3 million in career prize money.

Paul Tait, who just made it into the money in the 2026 WSOP Main Event, was the first to be eliminated at the final table, finishing in ninth place and earning £4,600.

Matthew Davenport finished in eighth place, earning £5,000. This prize money brings his total live tournament earnings closer to $3 million.

Tuan Vu finished seventh and earned £6,100, while Irish player Conor O'Driscoll continued his recent deep run, finishing sixth and earning £7,900.

Yuzhou Yin advanced further, earning £10,650.

Yuzhou Yin had just finished third in the £1,250 GUKPT Goliath Main Event a few days ago, and won £118,820 through a three-person ICM agreement.

After moving on to the Super High Roller event, Yin once again made it to the final table and ultimately finished fifth, earning £10,650 and becoming the first player in the event to win a five-figure prize.

Brandon Harris finished fourth, with career prize money exceeding $500,000.

Essex player Brandon Harris was eliminated in the four-player stage, finishing in fourth place and earning £14,450.

Harris only started setting live tournament cash records in mid-2023, but his career winnings have already exceeded $500,000, and he has been consistently competitive in live tournaments in the UK recently.

Daniel Carney finished third, earning the second-highest prize money of his career.

Daniel Carney was eliminated in the three-person stage, earning £20,550.

Carney earned $40,000 earlier this month at the 2026 WSOP Main Event, and his £20,550 win at the Goliath Super High Roller is the second-highest live tournament winnings of his career.

His elimination confirmed the champion's one-on-one lineup:

• Jamie Dwan

• Brandon Sheils

Dwan defeated Sheils, but no agreement was reached.

Brandon Sheils won the Goliath £1,500 High Roller a few days ago, earning £54,130, and has a chance to win two high-stakes titles in the same poker festival after entering heads-up play.

However, Dwan did not allow his opponent to continue his winning streak. The two did not reach a prize-sharing agreement before the final head-to-head match, so they competed for first and second place according to the original prize money structure.

Ultimately, Sheils was eliminated in the final stages, finishing as runner-up and winning £31,500; Dwan took home the £47,200 prize and the tournament trophy. The original article did not disclose details of the final hand and the community cards.

Results of the £2,000 Goliath Super High Roller Final Table

Naim Atakas, who came in tenth, earned £4,250.

Just three weeks ago, he won his first gold bracelet at the WSOP.

Dwan's most important recent breakthrough will occur at the 2026 WSOP.

He won the No-Limit Hold'em High Roller event with a buy-in of $50,000, earning not only the highest prize of his career ($2,276,691) but also becoming a WSOP gold bracelet winner for the first time.

Three weeks later, he moved on to the Goliath Poker Festival in the UK, where he once again claimed the title in the high-stakes field. From the $50K High Roller in Las Vegas to the £2K Super High Roller in Coventry, Dwan continued one of the best phases of his career with two victories.

Goliath Day 1E added another 1,665 visitors.

The same tournament update also announced the registration details for Day 1E of the £200 Goliath Main Event.

The fifth starting group attracted 1,020 independent participants, resulting in 645 re-entries and a total of 1,665 participants. Ultimately, 100 people successfully advanced to Day 2.

Goliath Main Event Top Five Data

After completing Day 1E, the first five starting groups of the Goliath main event have recorded a total of 7,832 entries, with 476 players qualifying for Day 2.

Conor Berry-Grimsley leads Day 1E

On Day 1E, five players completed bagging with at least 1 million chips.

Conor Berry-Grimsley became the chip leader with 1,405,000 chips and temporarily moved up to third place on the Day 2 total chips leaderboard.

Dwan continues its championship momentum, while Goliath's scale is also heating up.

Jamie Dwan won the WSOP $50,000 High Roller and the Goliath £2,000 Super High Roller in three weeks, taking home a gold bracelet, two championship trophies, and more than $2 million in prize money.

On the other hand, the first five starting groups of the Goliath main event have already reached 7,832 participants, with the remaining flights still waiting to be completed, and there is still room for the entry record to continue to rise.

With the Super High Roller champion crowned, the focus of the series will gradually shift to the £200 Goliath Main Event. Whether Jamie Dwan can maintain his hot streak in subsequent events, and the final size of the field for the Main Event, will be the main points of interest in Coventry.
