Our UK National Final venue, the Grosvenor Casino in Sheffield, also hosted our South Yorkshire regional final. Nearly 200 players entered the casino with the hope of leaving with a trip to Las Vegas but only one person would be lucky enough to win such a fantastic prize.

Our first award of the day was the team trophy which saw familiar winners in the Brownlow Arms in Newark. The Brownlow Arms have now won this trophy no fewer than FOUR times! Congratulations on this occasion to Tom Beacham, Michael Snowden, Steve Winson and Karl Lambert.

Congratulations Michael.
