It’s UK National Final time again in the North and South as qualifiers from around the country descended onto the Grosvenor Casino in either Manchester or Luton. FIVE golden tickets were awarded at each final with a guaranteed cash prize-pool of £1,500 paid from 6th-12th place.

After around 9 hours of play in Manchester we had our final 5 VEGAS100 qualifiers from the North UK National Final. For the first time in a long time we had 5 first-time VEGAS100 qualifiers, who will all be flying out to Las Vegas in May next year. Congratulations to Ryan Miller, Steven Dodsworth, Thomas Power, Graham Howe & Darren Nixon.
