The top three all received at least a five-figure pound prize, with Bull ultimately taking home the largest single prize of £28,500.
Henderson leads the FT with 91 big blinds.
Lewis Henderson entered the final table with 91 big blinds, 35 more than second-place Bull's 56. As a player with six PartyPoker Tour titles, Henderson was one of the favorites to win the championship from the start.
Christopher Hendry had only 17 big blinds, the shortest stack in the nine-player final table. When his chip count dropped further to 12 big blinds, Hendry went all-in with pocket 10s, only to run straight into Henderson's pocket aces.
Henderson hit three aces on the flop and then upgraded to four on the turn, leaving Hendry no chance to recover. Hendry became the first player eliminated from the final table, finishing in ninth place and earning £2,950.
Cannon completed a straight across the river, while Nicholas Scott finished eighth and was eliminated.
About 30 minutes later, Jeff Cannon and Nicholas Scott had another important showdown.
The flipped card is:
10-7-3
Cannon went all-in with J♦9♦, while Scott called with A♠K♠ and a flush draw.
The turn card was a 7, and the river card was an 8, allowing Cannon to make a straight with J-9 and win the pot. Scott finished in eighth place, earning £3,750.
AQ defeats Pocket J, Gary Swan stops at seventh.
Gary Swan's championship run ended in a standard flop competition.
Ben Crichton went all-in after four raises with A♣Q♣, and Swan, holding pocket Jacks, called.
The flop immediately revealed a Queen, giving Crichton a pair of Queens and the lead; the river brought an Ace, completing two pair. Swan failed to regain the lead, finishing in seventh place with £4,750.
Henderson, the starting chip leader, was eliminated by Mukit.
After entering the six-player stage, Lewis Henderson, who had been leading the final table, began to lose his advantage.
Abdul Mukit first doubled up by beating Henderson's pocket sevens with pocket jacks, and then took the rest of his opponent's chips in another big pot.
The hand was formed on the turn:
5-4-3-J
The board already has three clubs. Henderson check-calls Mukit's bet.
After a 9 of a different suit appeared on the river, Henderson checked again. Mukit bet about two-thirds of the pot, and Henderson immediately checked all-in.
Mukit immediately called, revealing pocket jacks and completing a set of jacks on the turn; Henderson had only A-7, with the A in clubs, but failed to form a stronger hand. The starting chip leader finished in sixth place, winning £6,250.
Mukit AK suppressed AQ, eliminating Joel Baxter.
About 25 to 30 minutes later, Mukit continued to extend his lead.
With blinds at 60,000/120,000, Mukit held a minimum raise with AK in the UTG position, while Joel Baxter triple-raised all-in with AQ for approximately 14 big blinds.
Mukit quickly called.
Both players hit an Ace on the flop, but Mukit maintained his lead thanks to a K kick. Baxter didn't get a Q to complete the comeback and ultimately finished in fifth place, earning £8,150.
Mukit eliminates Cannon again, Bull's Pokémon 8 reverses the situation against Pokémon Q.
The final four-player stage will be decided by two pre-flip matches to determine the champion's one-on-one champion.
Mukit first defeated Jeff Cannon 10-9 with an AQ score, eliminating the latter to fourth place and securing £10,450.
Next, Bull and Ben Crichton faced off in another pocket pair match. Bull, holding pocket eights, was clearly behind pre-flop against Crichton's pocket queens, but the community cards ultimately helped the pocket eights take the lead. Crichton thus finished third and won £13,500.
Only Robbie Bull and Abdul Mukit remained on the field.
9.05 million vs. 8.7 million, the champion's one-on-one match is almost a tie.
When they entered Heads-Up, the scoreboards of the two players were very close.

Bull was only leading by 350,000 chips, and the title race started almost back to a completely even contest.
The two did not quickly decide a winner, and the championship duel lasted for about 90 minutes until a full-bottom collision between AQ and A-7 truly changed the game.
A-7 completed a straight on the river, ending Bull's 90-minute heads-up match.
In the decisive hand, Mukit raised his opening size to 4 big blinds with AQ, while Bull went all-in with A-7.
Mukit was in a clear lead after calling.
Flip the card:
9-6-2
Mukit's AQ continues to hold an advantage.
After the 8 on the turn, Bull improved his straight draw, but still needed a river card to improve. The last community card was a 10, allowing Bull to complete his straight with 6-7-8-9-10, turning the tide from a losing position.
Mukit thus secured second place and £18,750; Bull, after approximately 90 minutes of head-to-head matches, officially claimed £28,500 and the PartyPoker Tour Glasgow Main Event title.
Eleven countries left behind cash, finally lifting the trophy in Scotland.
Robbie Bull has a live poker resume spanning 11 different countries, but has never won a title on his home turf in Scotland.
Breaking through the field of 355 participants not only secured him the PartyPoker Tour Glasgow Main Event title, but also officially ended his record of "achieving success overseas but failing to win a championship in his hometown".
Starting with the second chip card at the final table, Bull's journey to victory was marked by numerous comebacks from behind with inferior hands. He went on to defeat Crichton with pocket eights and pocket queens, and then finished the championship heads-up with an A-7 river straight.
Jack McMullan and Dara O'Kearney both won the championship.
The PartyPoker Tour Glasgow series also produced champions in several events. Jack McMullan, who had previously achieved a career-best result in the Mini Main Event, won the £150 Mini Main Event for £13,200; Dara O'Kearney took home the £1,000 High Roller, earning £11,550.

In addition, although Lewis Henderson finished sixth in the main event, he still won the £60 PL Sviten Special, further increasing his trophy count on the PartyPoker Tour.
The PartyPoker Tour will next stop in Spain in October.

For Robbie Bull, the Glasgow event holds immense significance. From setting prize money records in 11 countries around the world to finally lifting the trophy on his home turf in Scotland, this 355-entry main event completes a truly unique piece of his career.
