Our second London regional final was played the day after first with another Redtooth Poker member in the south joining Graham Case on the plane to Las Vegas next May. Another £500 was awarded to the top finishing players along with numerous UK National Final seats and a trophy for the best represented venue.
With the Snooty Fox winning the West London team event trophy the East London team event was won by the Odd Shoe in Croydon. Congratulations to Alex Lacey, Darius Svazas, Donna Lacey & Sam Edmonds.
Our final table of 10 started with a big stack of 230,000 which was held by Lee Woolley. Unfortunately for Lee it was a final to forget as he exited in 7th place! The heads-up encounter came down to previous VEGAS100 qualifier Cemal Geceli and Raymond Evans with Cemal hoping to join the 2016 class to add to his 2014 qualification. Unfortunately for Cemal it wasn’t to be as he got his chips in quite a way behind holding 9-7 to Raymond’s 9-8! A board of 8-7-4-A-J didn’t help as Raymond Evans was crowned the new East London regional final Champion.
