It was a fantastic day for all at the first Scottish Final held at the Northern Bar, Aberdeen. Colin Hoodless of the Waterline, Greenock came out top in a hard fought battle defeating Grant O’Rouke, also of the Waterline, heads up on the final table. Spare a thought for the Argyll Hotel, Ullapool, pub champion Bob Strange. Ten minutes in to the tournament his straight lost out to a flush on the river and Bob was out of the final – after a three and a half hour journey to get there!!! Better luck next time Bob!
