Kev Steele makes it 65,000 to play and Lewis Hunter makes the call. The flop comes A--8--6 which both players check. The turn card brings a King. Lewis leads out for 80,000, Kev does his usual quick raise, bumping it up to 205,000. Lewis then throws some blue (10k chips) into the middle announcing all in!! Kev has around 900,000 chips behind as he starts to eyeball Lewis, who is giving absolutely nothing away, after a few minutes Kev makes the call. Neither player wants to show their hand as there is a few seconds of awkwardness, before Lewis turns over A-10, Kev grimaces before showing A-9. He needs a nine to survive or the title is going back to Scotland. It doesn't come on the river for Kev and we have our first champion on 2012.
Lewis Hunter is our champion taking home £49,600. Kev Steele is the runner up winning £34,360.
