The first UK National Final of our 8th year had a new host in the fabulous Las Vegas style G Casino in Coventry. Nearly 200 players made the journey from as far north as Aberdeen to as far south as Plymouth to battle for over £10,000 worth in prizes in the most prestigious event in UK pub poker. In total there would be 10 players leaving with a trip to Las Vegas for Vegas 100 2015!

To make the day even more special for our valued members we invited along two well known professional poker players in Barny Boatman and Joe Beevers who were available throughout the day for photos, general meet and greet and to even sit down with for a cash game with some lucky Redtooth members, undoubtedly an experience they will all never forget.

The tournament also saw a brand new and improved blind structure which was welcomed by all as we saw a 10,000 starting stack for the first time at one of our UK National Finals. With a longer blind structure to compliment the increased starting stack we were looking at a long 9 hour grind until we reached our final 10 players.

It took around 8 hours to find our final 18 players who took their seats with the following stacks..

235,000 Martin Bremner – Green Dragon, Hucknall
214,000 Dave Kendrick – Willows, Upton
