The final batch of VEGAS100 golden tickets for the 2016 trip were awarded in a weekend extravaganza of poker spread across two venues in the UK. In Manchester we had the North UK National Final where we gave away 5 golden tickets. At the same time we had our South UK National Final in Luton where 5 more golden tickets were awarded. Both finals also had £1,500 guaranteed in cash paid out from 6th place downwards with 6th place guaranteeing at least £600 in cash.

With a 1pm start the players sat down and enjoyed an increased 10k starting stack with all tables being dealer dealt from start to finish. Antes were also introduced along with longer blind levels as the players got a taste of a real Las Vegas style poker tournament.

At around 7:30 we were at the bubble with 6th to 13th place claiming a cash prize and the top 5 qualifying straight into VEGAS100 in just a couple of months time. The unlucky player to bubble the tournament was Ian Currell from the Park Inn in Hartlepool as the remaining lucky 13 were all guaranteed to leave with a prize. One by one the players exited as we reached the final table…
