Going into the final table we had last seasons champ, 83 year old Fred Copley, 5th in chips with 61000. Can he become only the third player to win back to back regional finals? The first player out was short stack Sam Bailey who was followed shortly after by Daniel Marshall. 8th place was Josh Watterson with John Dook in 7th. Richard Henderson finished in 6th place with Martin Campbell in 5th. Craig Jones finished in 4th with defending champ Fred Copley coming home in 3rd place. This left a heads up match between big stack Arthur Picton and Lee Hinchcliffe. Unfortunately for Arthur he couldn’t quite finish the job as his Q-10 was just out pipped by Lee’s Q-J. The final board of the evening was A-6-3-2-3. Congratulations Lee Hinchcliffe.
