Our final 10 players had a few familiar names with 2-time Vegas qualifier Richard Arnott holding the chip lead with 99,000 in chips and fellow 2014 Vegas 100 member Lynn Macintosh the short stack on just 13,000 chips. Our 10th place finisher was team event winner John Stewart with Brian Buchan in 9th, both just missing out on a cash prize. John Roadley exited in 8th place with Jack Ford 7th, Lynn Macintosh 6th, Thomas Kettles 5th, James Mann 4th and Robert Grant 3rd. Our heads-up match saw the relentless Richard Arnott looking for his 3rd regional final title and 3rd Vegas trip against William Cressy from a debut venue Mecca Bingo in Aberdeen. The final hand saw William in great shape holding A-9 to Richard’s 9-8 who was at risk. The final board couldn’t help Richard as it ran out 4-Q-6-6-Q to crown William Cressy the new North Scotland champion.
