Should be a good weekend in Blackpool, with plenty of pubs from around the country battling it out for the title.
16 teams entered. It would have been more but The Red Bridge didn"t want to make the crossing from Bolton. The Three Pigeons, Witney, had technology issues. The White Hart in New Mill was concerned about the entry of The White Hart, Llantwit Major, so decided not to enter. Funnily enough, it was vice versa for the Llantwit Major lot aswell.
The Cock Inn, Shrewsbury, had to pull out, which is probably best for all concerned. Don"t want any mishaps on the weekend. Rileys in Stockton-On-Tees were in the frame, then right on cue, Stu Ward committed a foul and their Blackpool break was over.
Even so, looking forward to a great weekend of poker.
