Plymouth’s Grosvenor Casino played host to a growing South West region which saw the final South West VEGAS100 qualifier of the year. £500 was also awarded to the day’s top finishers.

Even though the final table was dominated by the White Hart in Holsworthy, they were split between their 2 poker nights. This meant the Ship Inn in Paignton took the honours thanks to Stavros Achilleos, Naomi Hayter, Elaine Chpman & Phil Knight.

Tony Rogers led a close final with 97,000 in chips, just 2,000 ahead of Valdas Abramavicius. Unfortunately Tony could only manage a 6th place as Valdas made the heads-up encounter against team event winner Stavros Achilleos. The final hand saw Valdas dominated holding J-10 to Stavros’s Ks-Js. Valdas couldn’t find the help he was looking for as the final board came down 5s-J-As-5-Qs to crown Stavros Achilleos the new South West regional final champion.
