What is VEGAS100?

In 2012, Redtooth Poker revolutionised pub poker in the UK by introducing VEGAS100, a concept taking the UK’s top 100 poker players, which are found via regional, national and online qualifiers, to the poker capital of the world, Las Vegas, to join the VEGAS100 experience and compete for the title of UK Pub Poker Champion. 100 players would travel across the pond but only 1 would return as the champion. Droitwich’s Mikey Knight emerged victorious last year to become our first ever West Midlands champion but would he hold onto his crown or would a new star emerge from the desert of Las Vegas?

The Grosvenor Casino in Edinburgh brought the Redtooth Poker Tour to an end for another year with Liam Hamilton winning his second ever tour leg beating Dan Parsons heads-up. The RPT leaderboard once again went down to the wire with Mark Jones needing a first place to topple Danny Watson but ultimately fell short in 4th place. Danny Watson ends the tour with 3 Vegas tickets in the bag! Congratulations to Liam Hamilton who will be playing in his 2nd VEGAS100 final.
