The Gala Casino in Glasgow saw an impressive 100% turnout for their Season 3 Regional Final. Tom McGuinness held a slight 3,000 chip advantage over Hugh Higgins as the final table got underway, while Andrew Cahoon from Wintergills in Glasgow needed nothing more than a miracle as he started with only 4,000 in chips. The 8 finalists battled their way down to the final 2 players which was between the 2 chip leaders, Tom and Hugh. Tom eventually came out on top as his 8h 2s out flopped Hugh’s 10s 4c on a 6d 8d 4s Qh 6c board. All 8 finalists shared the £1,000 cash prize with Tom collecting a cool £500 and the Season 3 South Scotland Regional Final trophy. Congratulations to all winners and a very well played to all the players.

A record turnout at the Gala Casino in Dundee saw a 10 man final table take to the felt. Tom Keane from the Albert Bar in Montrose held the chip lead with 62,000 as play got underway, and Paul McKenna from the Woodville Inn in Kerriemuir began as the short stack with just 17,000. All hope was not lost for Paul as he came back in style from 10th place to make the heads up match with Tom Keane. The momentum was certainly with Paul as his flopped top pair with Ks 10c on a Jc Qh Kh Jd 7h board was much superior to Tom Keane’s flopped gutshot with 8c 9d. Paul took down the exhausting 7 hour North Scotland Regional Final and a well earned £500 in cash. A total of 8 players shared the £1,000 prizepool and a fantastic day and venue was enjoyed by all.
