For the first time our UK National Finals were split into a north and a south final with the north final being played out at the Grosvenor Casino in Manchester and the south final being played at The Poker Room in London. Both tournaments offered FIVE golden envelopes into our VEGAS100 National Final with £1,500 in cash being guaranteed at both finals paid down from 6th position.

South UK National Final

135 players from as far as the Midlands down to the South West started the tournament hoping to be leaving with one of the FIVE VEGAS100 seats. After around 7 hours of play we were down to our final 20 players
