Neil Raine Wins Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Stockton

Poker pro Neil Raine has won the €500 buy in Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Stockton main event picking up £17,690 for his victory over the small field of 116 players.

The third stop of season seven of the Tour saw a main event with quality players such as World Series of Poker bracelet winner Laurence Gosney but it was online qualifier Raine who took the title when his K 9 hit both a king and two clubs on the flop and another king on the turn to bust runner up Dave Collins.

Raine said after his win, “It was a tough final because we were so deep but I was really lucky with the table draw, Tom was on my table, but he couldn’t do anything because he couldn’t get past me. It was really enjoyable, a really good structure.

“Three handed was a nightmare it took so long, no one was getting coolered! I had a few hands where my opponent was in front ’til the river and I got there a few times.”

The final table payouts were:

1: Neil Raine — £17,690
2: Dave Collins — £12,470
3: Stephen Sung — £7,830
4: Tom Hall — £4,930
5: Lawrence Gosney — £4,060
6: John Bousfield — £2,900
7: Chris Howden — £2,320
8: Chris Green-Smith — £1,740
