a big thank you to everyone that attended the latest finals day in woolavington at the prince of wales, also a big thank you to gail, sean and the team for looking after everyone throughout the day!

we started off the day with crowning our newest leaderboard champion and river rat masters inductee phil bamsey who just beat warminsters neil tipping by 90 points!

once everyone was seated it was level 3 we lost our first player and this months honours go to final table veteran George stevenson who got all his remaining short stack in on an open ended draw but didnt make his straight and he was eliminated first!
Also first player to hit quads was burnhams ben burridge who made quad tens! the player was solid throughout the day with bluffs made at every direction and we were down to the final ten by the lunchbreak

with the blinds increasing and pressure on ryan to double up it only took one hand heads up to crown our latest champion ryan pushed preflop and was called by wifey no players hit across the board and wifeys high card quenn was good enough to take down her first finals day win and make her our 3rd female finals day champion and latest river rat masters inductee!

a very big thank you to all teams that took part in a great team event on sunday and also to the phoenix who looked after everyone superbly throughout the day!

so with 8 teams spread across 5 tables the first stage was some of the most cagiest play ive ever seen with no player wanting to be first out in their team! but as the blinds increased so did the action and players were starting to crash out especially on table 3 where one man wrecking machine abdel from The Bad Beaters eliminated everyone on the table giving him maximum points plus an extra 1500 chips for his team in knockout bounties!

FROME MOB 14,950
TEAM RAT 13,150
2 DIRTY 3 SPECIAL 12,450

after a tense final table with no player wanting to let their team down we saw team rat's jodie mansfield take down the tournament after pushing with a low ace and called by arnie with JQ the flop turn and river didnt give arnie a much needed pair and team rat took down the torunament!
