After a fun and ferocious week of elephant polo, attended by teams from all over the world as well as special VIP guests, the final day of the tournament offered up a showcase of skillful play and plenty of memorable moments.

Heavy rain delayed the final match for more than an hour before a sudden death shoot out was called. The shoot out placed two stellar teams on the pitch, both of them full of storied elephant polo histories and exceptional players. Audemars Piguet’s Angaad and Uday Kalaan and rock solid Captain Peter Prentice proved too much for second-place King Power International, just as it had been for all the other teams.

Out of the three penalty shoot outs King Power scored two. Audemars Piguet players, the Kalaan brothers, scored their penalty shots and it was left up to Captain Peter Prentice to place the winning shot which he did with ease leaving Audemars Piguet defending their 2010 winning title once again.

The tournament ended with a prize-awarding ceremony, canapés, and plenty of Penfolds as the sun finally came out on what is arguably the most successful year ever. The exciting weeklong event has not only been about fun and games either -- a generous BHT 3.1 million was raised at the Anantara Hua Hin gala dinner which hosted a gathering of top dignitaries and well known celebrities.
