A record turnout at the Gala Casino in Dundee saw a 10 man final table take to the felt. Tom Keane from the Albert Bar in Montrose held the chip lead with 62,000 as play got underway, and Paul McKenna from the Woodville Inn in Kerriemuir began as the short stack with just 17,000. All hope was not lost for Paul as he came back in style from 10th place to make the heads up match with Tom Keane. The momentum was certainly with Paul as his flopped top pair with Ks 10c on a Jc Qh Kh Jd 7h board was much superior to Tom Keane’s flopped gutshot with 8c 9d. Paul took down the exhausting 7 hour North Scotland Regional Final and a well earned £500 in cash. A total of 8 players shared the £1,000 prizepool and a fantastic day and venue was enjoyed by all.
