The western area of Yorkshire played out their regional final at the Grosvenor Casino in Leeds which offered another seat into VEGAS100 next year. £500 cash was also awarded to places 2nd to 8th.

The first award was the team event which was won by Toddy’s in Pocklington who were well represented by Richard Carlton, Andy Turner, Richard Pouton & Adam Brown.

York’s Graham Brandreth started the final as the big stack with Ashley Pryce not far behind on 147,000 chips. The heads-up encounter involved Graham and Ben Holsworth with the winner qualifying for VEGAS100 and 2nd place winning a cool £200. The final hand left the winner in no doubt as Graham’s K-J flopped a straight on a board of 10-9-Q with Ben holding 8-6. A meaningless 4-8 peeled off on the turn and river to crown Graham Brandreth the latest West Yorkshire regional final champion.
