Our 10 player final had 3 previous VEGAS100 qualifiers in Alan Tate, Brian Welsh & Andrew Carr but neither of them could make it to the heads-up match. The final two prizes were contested between Chris White and Graham Hussey with VEGAS100 qualification going to the winner. The tournament came to an end with Chris holding J-3 to Graham’s K-7 and a board of K-2-4-J-A gave Graham the check mark and with it the title of West Yorkshire champion.
