A brand new venue hosted our East London regional final, The Poker Room on Edgware Road, part of the Vic Casino in London. Not only was a trip to Las Vegas awarded to the days winner, there was also a share of £500 in cash, 2 crystal glass trophies up for grabs and also a visit from one of the UK’s top female poker players, Liv Boeree.

But just as big as Livs visit was our team event contest! On this occasion the Odd Shoe in Croydon picked up this prestigious award. Congratulations to Donna Lacey, Charles Burrows, Sam Edmonds & Stuart Jeffreys.

In a final table that went to form for the top 2 players at least, short stack Charles Burrows couldn’t add to his 7,000 stack as he was eliminated in 10th place. Beg Lugman then finished in 9th with Dean Taylor 8th, Marcin Ciach 7th, Jimmy Richards 6th, Ronnie Rodwell 5th, Darren Burke 4th & Jenny Kuhn 3rd. The 2 big stacks then battled for over £1,000 worth of prizes combined with Terry Prett going up against Nick Dennis. The final hand saw Terry with A-K to Nick’s 2-3 with Nick at risk. Terry was confirmed champion after a board of Q-7-4-A-Q.
