142 players entered Duffs Full House for the South England Regional Final.

James Purkiss from the Famous Old Pines in Bournemouth was the first player out in 142nd, with their other two qualifiers fairing much better coming home in 16th place and 30th place respectively. The team from Plough On The Green in Newbury had a day to remember as two of their three qualifiers made the final table, these being Rob Allen and Emily Hayes.

As the final table began, Michael Brant from the Locomotive in Little Hampton had a huge chip lead with 374,000 in chips, a staggering 236,000 more than his closest rival. Michael’s chips dwindled slightly as the rest of the runners tried to up their game and close thegap. However, after a lengthy final table, Michael found himself in a heads-up match against Plough On The Green’s Rob Allen. The match ended when Rob went all-in with K6 only to receive a quick call from Michael, holding A7. The tension built as the flop turn and river were dealt, but there was no help for Rob as Michael’s A7 secured the win when a 3J8 10 and 7 hit the felt. Michael becomes our new South England champion and takes home £500, a Redtooth glass trophy and a place in our annual National Final.

This was the scene during the first break at the Leo’s Casino in Liverpool. Eliminations were sparse during the first hour, but that soon changed once everyone was fed and watered.

Angela Barratt qualified for her first ever regional final as pub winner from the Tynewydd Inn in Barry.

On line qualifier Daniel Mitchell certainly had the best seat in the house at the Gala Casino in Bristol. Daniel is seated between Lucy Cheaterman from the Bell Hotel on Swindon and Lucy Milburn from the County Arms in Truro. I just hope he can concentrate!!

Most people know how difficult it is to win a pub league in Redtooth Poker. That makes the achievement of Martin Britton all the more exceptional as he won the leagues in the Cert Rawlin Inn and the Irish Tymes, both on Caerphilly.
Congratulations Martin!!

A massive 18% of the field at the South West and South Wales regional final at the Gala Casino at Bristol were female players. 15 pubs that were represented on the day had won their pub leagues.

A healthy turnout at the Gala Casino in Edinburgh ensured a fantastic day of poker was enjoyed by everyone.

An 8 player final table meant that the whole table would receive a cash prize, they shared a nice total of £1000, with £500 going to the eventual winner.

As the final table got underway, there was a tie for the chip lead with Colin Reid from the Queens Retreat in Edinburgh and Richard Inglis from the Torphichen Arms in Mid Calder both starting on 43,000 in chips. Unfortunately neither could make the heads-up match as they came in 3rd and 4th place respectively. Their exit to the rail would mean that Iain Clark and Liam Mullen would be the last men standing to battle for our South Scotland Regional Final title.

The final hand of the night saw Liam Mullen catch a lucky break as his A4 off suit came from behind to beat Iain Clark’s pocket 8’s on a 6J4 A J board. Liam takes away the £500 and a nice Redtooth glass trophy, but Iain did take some comfort in his 2nd place finish, taking home a £200 cash prize and a National Final qualifying place. Well done Liam.

The Gala Casino in Dundee got our latest round of Regional Finals underway, the first of 15 throughout England and Scotland! This is one of your final chances to qualify for our National Final in March.

A record field in our North Scotland Regional Final locked horns to battle it out for some of our remaining National Final seats, while the top 8 places all received a cash prize.

Once the final table had been set, Darren Campbell from the Granary in Elgin was the chip leader with 71,000 in chips, closely followed by Gary Wood from the Royal Oak in Huntly with 68,000 in chips respectively. Unfortunately for Darren, he could only come home in 4th place, just missing out on a National Final qualifying place but he did get £60 for his efforts, which softened the blow.

The big story of the final table belongs to Bob Hoggs who came back from only 7,000 in chips to make the heads-up match against John Alexander Snr. Unfortunately the victory was a step too far for Bob as his QJ off suit couldn’t improve to beat John’s 22. The final board of the night ran out 577 4 6 which sees John take home £500 and a lovely Redtooth glass trophy.
