Our members were back on the golden ticket trail on Sunday for our North UK National Final. No less than 5 seats into next year’s VEGAS100 tournament were awarded along with £1,500 in cash prizes in what is one of our biggest UK events of the year. Only the top finishers from the last two rounds of regional finals were invited to this prestigious event so a high standard of poker was expected throughout the day.
