One of the most eagerly anticipated live poker festivals of the year is taking place at Dusk Till Dawn casino in the heart of Nottingham this week, the 2016 Sky Poker UK Poker Championships.
The opening event, the £2,200 High Roller, smashed its £100,000 guarantee by £72,000 and the lion's share of that impressive sum is now nestled in the bank account of its champion, Jack O'Neill. The Nottinghamshire-based grinder, who finished 19th in this year's Aussie Millions Main Event, collected £55,000 for his victory, by far the largest live score of his career thus far.
