The Grosvenor Casino in Wales welcomed a big Welsh crowd as over 100 players all sat down with the hope of winning the last Welsh VEGAS100 seat. £500 was also awarded on the day totalling over £1,500 worth of prizes.

Another award on offer was the team event trophy which goes to the best represented venue. With 2 finalists in Matthew Perry and Brent Fuglseth the Black Lion in Cardiff took home the award. Congratulations to the Black Lion team.

Our 9 player final saw Richard Webb lead the pack on 134,000 in chips with David Broome the short stack on just 15,000 chips. Unfortunately for David he couldn’t make any inroads in this final table as he exited in 9th place respectively. With Matthew Jones exiting in 3rd place we were left with Matthew Perry and Lee Froud to contest the VEGAS100 seat and remaining cash prize of £200. The tournament came to an end as Matthew and Lee both committed their stacks with 10-8 & J-9 with Lee at risk for his tournament life. The board ran out 5-6-Q-10-Q in Matthew Perry‘s favour to crown him the new Wales regional champion.
