Our heads-up match was between Gordon Cuthill and Graham Kettles with Gordon looking to join his compatriot Laura Duff in qualifying for our Vegas 100 National Final. The final hand saw Graham holding A-10 to Gordon’s 9-6 with Graham at risk for his tournament life. A 9 ‘in the window’ propelled Gordon into the lead which he never relinquished on a 9-Q-5-3-8 board. Congratulations Gordon Cuthill.
