Our South Yorkshire members entered the Grosvenor Casino in Sheffield with the hope of leaving with the day’s top prize, a seat into our VEGAS100 National Final next year. Failing that there was a share of £500 up for grabs along with an award for the day’s best represented venue.

The Wingerworth Pub & Kitchen in Chesterfield won the team event and they were well represented by Mike Stone, John Fox, Lisa Arisaman & Martin Sopp.

The 9 player final was led by the Highway Man’s Toni Perks on 188,000 in chips with Leon Forrester just behind on 162,000 in chips. After a final table that ran over an hour in duration we were left with our 2 chip leaders Toni & Leon, both desperate to win the VEGAS100 seat. Eventually Toni got the better of Leon in a tense encounter when her A-3 held up against Leon’s 5-6 on a 10-9-7-10-Q board. Congratulations Toni Perks.
