Our semi final venue, the Genting Casino in Sheffield now also hosts our South Yorkshire regional final where prizes galore were awarded to our Redtooth Poker players in their latest regional final.

The days first trophy was awarded to the Three Tuns in Rotherham as they claimed the South Yorkshire team trophy. Matthew Ward, Tony Dimbledly, Liam Twigg and Darren Leary represented the new champion pub!

Vegas 100 member John Dook continued his good form as he hit the final table with the chip lead and they lined up as follows…

THE FINAL TABLE

Seat 1: John Dook – Gamekeeper, Gainsborough 165,000
Seat 2: Steve Hughes – Cumberland, Doncaster 50,000
Seat 3: Kim Cox – Sportsman, Doncaster 102,000
Seat 4: John Gunn – Robin Hood, Sheffield 112,000
Seat 5: Nev King – Pocket, Worksop 118,000
Seat 6: Andy Shaw – King & Miller, Retford 160,000
Seat 7: Hughie O’Donnell – Tut & Shive, Doncaster 145,000
Seat 8: Ylber Avdia – Half Moon, Sheffield 20,000
Seat 9: Ian Wood – Three Horseshoes, Rotherham 35,000

With 2nd to 8th place claiming a semi final seat, one player would leave slightly disappointed. Ian Wood from the Three Horseshoes was the unlucky player in 9th place. The rest were guaranteed at least a semi final seat and a cash prize to go with it. Hughie O’Donnell hit the rail in 8th place, followed by Ylber Avdia in 7th. Kim Cox was 6th, Steve Hughes 5th, Vegas 100 member John Dook 4th and Nev King was 3rd. The heads-up match was between John Gunn and Andy Shaw. The tournament came to a close once John Gunn got his chips in with K-K against Andy Shaw‘s 7-4. The final board ran out Q-Q-5-6-2 to make John Gunn our latest Vegas 100 member.
