North Scotland’s elite pub poker players entered the G Casino in Aberdeen with one goal in mind, to emulate Sean Eden‘s achievement this year of being the first player to join 2014’s Vegas 100 club. Semi-final seats were also up for grabs which provides a second chance to the top performing players.

Despite two finalists from the Auctioneers, the Northern Bar took the team event trophy as they had three players who made the top 16. They were represented by Michael Paterson, Kenneth Clark, Ian Paterson and Arthur Andrejevs.

The final table got under way with Ian Paterson being eliminated first, therefore, unfortunately leaving empty ended. The next player out was James Ironside in 9th with a previous Las Vegas finalist Richard Arnott in 8th. 7th was long time Redtooth member Bill Cowan, Deane Slessor was 6th with Steve Watson 5th, Charles Woolley 4th and Allan Kettles 3rd. This left Lynn Mackintosh and John Somers to battle for the trip to Las Vegas. The final hand saw Flush over Flush with Lynn’s As-Jd nearly finishing with a Royal Flush against John’s 10d-4s. The final board ran out 3s-10s-Ks-Qs-7d to crown Lynn Mackintosh the latest North Scotland champion.
