The Grosvenor Casino in Leeds welcomed nearly 200 Redtooth Poker members in what turned out to be another very successful West Yorkshire regional final. Vegas 100 2014 runner-up Stuart Weston was back in action as he looked for an immediate return.

Our most successful venue from our West Yorkshire final, the Oyster Catcher in Hull were at it again. If 3 Vegas 100 players and a previous regional final winner wasn’t enough they now have a team event trophy to add to the collection. Congratulations to landlady Lesley Hines, Mike Robertson, Tracey Roberts and Neil Phillips.

Our final 10 was set once Andreas Eklund was eliminated in 11th place. The start of the final saw a big 4 way all-in which saw two eliminations in George Greer (10th) and Terry Kerr (9th). Lesley Hines finished in 8th place with Lily Willets 7th, James Costello 6th, Nicholas Sheard 5th, Martin Matthews 4th and Ronnie Donaldson 3rd. The trip to Las Vegas was going to be awarded to either Graham Kent or David Bell with £200 going to the runner-up. The final hand left no doubt as to our winner as Grahams 5-5 smashed Davids 8-3 on a J-A-5-6-2 board to make Graham Kent our new West Yorkshire champion.
