Poker God in association with MANSION
WilyWoods Poker God

After grafting through 20 freerolls 30 players met at the Western Club to play for the title of Poker God

InsideEdge and MANSION have made another dream come true as Nick Woods aka WilyWoods won the Live Final of the Poker God series and a 2007 WSOP Main Event seat.

After battling through 20 online freerolls and scrapping for leaderboard points along the way, 30 players met at the Western Club in West London to do battle for the staggering prize.

The tournament lasted over nine hours after beginning at midday, thanks with a 30 minute clock and starting stacks of 10,000. Players enjoyed the structure and some great poker was played, testament to that was the fact that no player was eliminated in the first two hours.

The tournament was impecably run by our friends at the Western, and players turned up on Sunday afternoon a little worse for wear after the MANSION cocktail reception the night before.

It was a cracking afternoon with regular Sit and Go’s for players who had been knocked out as well as the various friends and family who had come along to watch.

In second place and winning a trip to Las Vegas, was Richard Smith aka Rik_2502 a 20-year-old player from Glasgow.

Smith played solidly and tried to take control when it went short handed only to see Nick Woods play back at him. He turns 21 on 25/02 hence the name. Jason Kemp came in in third place.

Daniel Presland went out in fourth on the bubble. He pushed it all in with T-8. Hit two pair on the flop then went out to a flush on the turn.

Aces_06 - the leaderboard winner by some margin - didn't make the final table unfortunately. He never really got going and nursed a short stack most of the day.

Woods was the winner of the second freeroll, and was able to transfer this success to the live arena, and with some style.

He put his success down in part to drinking a few Holsten Pils and playing looser in the middle stages to take his stack up to 50,000. When it got to the final three he was the chip leader and able to push on from there.
