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.
