Our Wirral regional final was played in the Grosvenor Casino in New Brighton. This fabulous area and casino welcomed over 100 players as the battle to reach the Vegas 100 2015 trip got underway. Over £1,500 worth of prizes were awarded in total to our players.

The first prize was the very elegant team event crystal glass trophy. Two venues went close to picking up this award but even with two finalists, the Stag Inn in Wigan just missed out to the Bromborough in the Wirral who had very consistent performers in Karl Jones, Andy Harper, Shaun Courtney & finalist Carl Boyd.

Our final table of 10 was one to forgot for the 2 players from the Old Custom House in Chester as Donna Stanton (10th) and Dave Hawkins (9th) were the first 2 players out, therefore, just missing out on the days prizes. Marjory Ritson was eliminated in 8th with Mandy Wilding 7th, Stuart Jones 6th, Graeme Hunter 5th, Jamie Cooney 4th & after many successful attempts at doubling up, Dave Pudman finished in 3rd place. Heads-up saw Carl Boyd against Phillip Meadows who had held a healthy stack for most of the tournament. The 20 minute heads-up battle came to an end once Phillip Meadows saw A-10 and Carl Q-J with a pre-flop all-in and call soon to follow. A board of 2-A-2-9-6 came down to crown Phillip Meadows our Wirral regional champion and latest Las Vegas qualifier.
