THE REPORT

Genting Club in Liverpool hosted our North West Two regional final with 136 players hoping to win a Las Vegas trip next year!

The first player out was Andrew Johnson from the Butcher’s Arms in Warrington. Andrew lasted a whole 5 minutes but it was undoubtedly the best 5 minutes of his life!

Previous champion Tarra Moore made a second final table in 3 seasons as she was looking for the Vegas seat and to join the double winners club.
