UK Masters Poker League
The Castle Casino in Dudley was the venue for the 1st Grand Final for the UK Masters Poker League.
The eventual winner was Oliver Jones who wins a £6000 package to Las Vegas, he has battled in his local pub since October 2007 to get to one of the four quarterly finals. Eventually 70 players are brought back to play in the Grand Final.
The very short ,short stack ( Phillip Pearsall) turned down a great deal when heads up (to his credit) but was felted three hands later.
Pub Poker is increasing in it’s popularity and casinos are the venue of choice for Grand Finals (to kind of make them legal :s ) And there is no sign in these pub poker leagues slowing down. Even Dusk till Dawn has hosted 2 Grand Finals, one for Redtooth Poker and another for Pokerdownthepub. In my opinion these leagues are the next level, whilst numbers diminish in licensed cardrooms, the local drinking hole is fastly becoming the venue of choice for the average poker player.
