The Poker Room in London hosted our East London final which saw another player off to Las Vegas next year for VEGAS100 2016. £500 was also shared amongst the top finishers and the best represented venue was awarded with a crystal glass trophy.
The West London regional final for season 9.2 has been re-scheduled for Sunday 4th October with registration from 10:30am and a 12pm start.
Due to The Poker Room’s busy schedule over the coming weeks and with our UK South National Final being played on Sunday 11th October the venue that will host the West London final will be the Grosvenor Casino in Luton. Invites for this re-scheduled event will be re-issued.
Second Chance Sunday will now start at 8pm instead of the advertised 3pm.
We thank you for your understanding on this matter.
The West London regional final was abandoned on Sunday due to the sudden death of one of the players.
Redtooth MD Martin Green said “We are extremely saddened to hear of the death of a player during our regional final event in West London last Sunday and the event was immediately cancelled out of respect for the player involved. On behalf of the Redtooth Poker team, we would like to send our sincere condolences and sympathies to the family and friends of the player at this very difficult time.”
The event will be re-staged at a date to be announced.
