Adam Fairfield from the Mundy Arms in Heanor climbed 5360 metres to Mount Everest’s Base Camp in aid of two charities, then organised and played Redtooth Poker’s highest ever poker hand. Adam faced off against his friend Preesang with guide assistant Hari as the dealer. Both players immediately went all-in with 3-3 and 10-9 and with a board of AAK 6 2, Adam was declared the winner of Redtooth’s highest ever hand of poker!

Lee “crazylee666” Hodgson who is a regular poker player at the Wrose Bull in Shipley won the £1,000 free-roll on BetFred Poker this past weekend. Believe it or not Lee was the first player to be eliminated from the recent National Final and won a bottle of wine for this dubious honour. But on Friday night the tables were turned as he defeated 201 Redtooth members to take down the final tournament of the National Final week. This capped an astonishing turn around of fortune for Lee who now has £270 to go with his bottle of wine.

This is the moment when our 2009/10 National Final champion, Daniel Blackburn, handed over the title to our latest winner David Cheesman. Daniel will no doubt be back next year though as he tries to make his way to Vegas with Redtooth.

So, here we are again! The 2010/11 Redtooth Poker National Final, the pinnacle of pub poker and by far the greatest show Redtooth Poker has ever put on. For those lucky enough to be there it was a record breaking day as 404 players took their seats in the knowledge of being so close but yet so far to the summit of this 112,000 player mountain.  A mountain that even makes Everest seem like a mere bump in the road. At the end of a long gruelling day, only one player would reach the summit and leave the other 403 players thinking about what could have been. Let the game begin!

During the early hours of Sunday 27th March, Anthony Van Eker from the Lever Club in Bebington defeated James Macgillivray heads-up to take down the inaugural Redtooth Poker Celebration Tournament at Dusk Till Dawn. 182 Redtooth members were all vying for the £1,625 1st prize to kick start their weekend of poker.

Unfortunately Anthony couldn’t repeat the feat in the National Final as he was eliminated in 371st.

Ladies and Gentleman please say hello to the new UK Pub Poker Champion – Mr David Cheesman.

David plays in the Lord Nelson in Wakefield – he’s been playing for four years and was excited to be crowned the new winner. With a record 404 players starting out at 12.30 it was a long battle to the end at 11.10pm when he finally took David Ansells’ remaining chips to make him the runner up.

The Plough Hotel in Preston became the first Redtooth venue to defend their team event title in Manchester. In Season 4.3 Kevin Boyes, Andy Calerbank and Steve Neville took the first ever North West One team trophy back to Freckleton. 13 weeks later in season 4.4 they were at it again. Kevin Boyes was on this occasion accompanied by Ben Dalton and Sue Cooper. Kevin, their stand out player for the year will also be present for the 2011 National Final in Nottingham.

Can they make it a hat-trick in season 5.1?
