The 10 player final table had current Vegas 100 member Phil Walker in attendance along with Father & son Jan Palla and Sean Palla. Jan unfortunately exited first in 10th place, however, he will still make the semi final in 2 weeks time. Chip leader Matthew Burke had a disappointing final leaving in 9th after losing a A-K vs. A-Q match up. Dean Garratt was 8th with Guy Coley 7th, Scott Floyd 6th, Dave Plumpton 5th, Phil Walker 4th and Craig Butler 3rd. Heads-up saw Dan Bain against Sean Palla with stacks fairly even. As Dan Bain became short on chips the final hand was upon us as his J-5 met Sean’s A-Q as the chips went in pre-flop. Dan never really got the help he needed as the board ran off 8-3-6-Q-5 to crown Sean Palla the latest West Midlands Two regional final winner.
