The Loose Cannon Club in London gave the players of the Central London regional final a warm welcome as always.
On a topsey turvey final table the chip lead changed almost every hand but Sean McCaffrey of the Cross Keys, Hammersmith was the one who held all the chips in the end. Sean was attending his very first regional final and going into the final table was considerably short stacked. Down to the last three were Sean, Steve Speroni of the Prince of Wales, East Barnett and Amanda Williams of the Three Compasses, Hornsey. After a few exciting hands Amanda decided to go all in blind but unfortunately it wasn’t in her favour putting her in 3rd place.
The heads up between Sean and Steve ended with Steve’s possible straight, and dreams of becomming the Central London champion, being shattered by Sean’s 2 pair.
