 Redtooth are pleased to announce that our growth in Scotland means that we will now have two regions. This means that there will now be two regional finals held in Glasgow and Dundee from next season – which takes the Scottish cash prize pool to £8,000 for regional finals alone!

This is great news for those loyal Scottish players who have travelled long distances to take part in regionals in the past and we look forward to seeing them at the new events.

We are also able to report that we have aquired the Scotland Poker Club – this is one of the largest poker leagues in Scotland and brings new pubs to the league. John Kay from Scotland Poker Club commented “this is  a great step forward for the league, it’s great to be part of the UK’s biggest pub poker league”.

Marston’s pub, Cobblers Hall gets a great turnout for the opening night.
25 players start to form the new poker community in Newton Acliffe and manager Collette is over the moon!
Collette says “”it’s a better turnout than we expected, the atmosphere is brilliant and the takings are up”.

Final Chance Friday is an online tournament for all players that were eliminated during the regional finals . The tournament will take place on friday 19th of June at 8pm on Betfred Poker.

10 seats are guaranteed into the National Final 2010 and a chance to become the UK Pub Poker Champion.

Huge congratulations go to Sonya Atkin of the Sun Inn, Eastwood who became our second ever female Regional Champion. Sonya made it to the final table of the East Midlands final, which was held at the Village Hotel and Leisure Club, Nottingham, with a modest chipstack of 90k and managed to beat the chip leader, Luke Taylor of the Nags Head, Sleaford who had 140k. When the final hand was dealt, Luke had a confident  Qd 10d against Sonya’s Kc 5s but the flop delivered 7c 5h 3s giving Sonya a pair of 5’s to win the game.
