George Westwood survived the longest final table ever in the 25/25 Series to take down the Coventry leg from 28 February-2 March 2014 at the Ricoh Arena.

Westwood battled it out for 17 hours - from 12 noon on Sunday to 5am on Monday morning – before beating David Stephenson heads-up to claim the title.

After a five-way deal was agreed at 2.45am it took more than two hours before the local player from Birmingham eventually took the crown.

The five-way chop left £1,000 in the pot to play for along with the title and first out was Aleem Kanji, who pocketed £7,290 after winning the Rainbow Masters in Bristol earlier in the month. Kanji added another £7,975 to his burgeoning bankroll and is proving a real force to be reckoned with this year.

Out in fourth place was Gary Kelly who collected £8,100 from the deal... then Mark McCluskey went to the rail with £7,775 after another nice payday following his fourth place in the 25/25 Sheffield.

That left Westwood and Stephenson heads-up, with Westwood scooping the title and £7,700. But Stephenson was the biggest winner, collecting £10,775 after being chip leader when the deal was agreed.

The Midlands series of the 25/25 now moves on to leg three in Leicester from 11-13 April.
