At the start of the EPT London Main Event, 45 players signed up for the Skrill Last Longer competition. Yesterday, Leo McClean emerged as the winner.

For those unfamiliar with the promotion. The Skrill Last Longer competition will be held at each stop on this season��s EPT, of which they��re an official sponsor. The promotion is simple �C players sign up for the promotion either online (preregistration is available) or at the Skrill booth (which will be present at each stop); don a Skrill patch; and then aim to be the last man or woman standing. The last player remaining will then receive the ��5,250 buy-in back in their Skrill account, which is what McClean won.

While Skrill is upping the ante for Season 10 with a bigger branding initiative, this isn��t their first appearance on the EPT; as a matter of fact, they were a sponsor of Season 8 and have held previous ��Last Longer�� promotions.
