Friday 26th June was  a big night for our online players as they sat down to take part in the $10,000 Guaranteed Tournament courtesy of Betfred, our online partners.

The big winner on the night was Carl Morgan (bugse) from the Chilli Banana in Macclesfield – he took away a mighty $2,700, Carl is a busy boy as he’s currently also top of the Redtooth Tavern online league!

Second place was Graham Gorton (moochers), who plays in at least five pubs (Three Tuns, Bear Tavern, Fox & Dogs, The Raven and Oak & Ash – all in the Birmingham area) who won $1,600. Third place went to Philip Taylor (turnstone10) who also plays in five pubs (Grey Horse, Ainsty Hotel, Blackull Hotel & The Bees Knees all around the York area and beyond!) who won $1,000.

Another 17 players were also in the money with further prizes ranging from $800 down to $120 – Congratulations to all involved.

This month we are giving away iPods every weekend in our iPod parties! – Just in time for those summer holidays. More details online at www.betfred.com/pubpoker

Well done to the Landlord of the Foley Arms, Streetly, who hit a spade Royal Flush last night. He was dealt Qs As, the flop delivered 10s Js and the river was that all important Ks.

Congratulations!!

After reading the friendly literature they provided, I thought let’s give it a go. Our Thursday nights have not been this busy in a long time…..Its great to see old customers mixing with new customers”. Thanks Redtooth Poker!

Stag locals looking cool at the poker tables!

Both Ray and Scott were paid out by Betfred, each scooping £52.50 for their trouble!

 Ray said ” Scott and I decided to place a bet of £2.50 , @ 20/1..on Zain. £52.50 was paid out and as a kind gesture I passed the (Paid out) betting slip to Zain who was over the moon to be able to keep it. Scott and I will be placing further bets on future qualifiers as this was pretty cool to see our names on the betting slips.”
