A huge turn out at Dusk Till Dawn over the weekend as 384 players took part in the Redtooth Pub Poker Championship. It was the culmination of a year long pub league and in the end joiner Daniel Blackburn took down the event and the £5,000 first prize. The regular at the Airedale Heifer in Mirfield commented:

"I won a few hands when Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing was playing so I played it over and over in the last few hands and it really kept me going. I can’t believe I’ve won”
