Rideout Glitters at SPT Newcastle

Submitted by: TightEnd on Sun, 09/01/2011 - 5:30pm

Team Sky Poker's Wayne "Gliterbabe" Rideout from Brighton won the second leg of the 2010-11 Sky Poker Tour, beating 170 other Sky Poker players to the title and the £4,500 first prize at a sold out Aspers Casino in Newcastle this weekend.
 
Rideout beat 22 year old Jamie Louise "Jamie Lou" Barrett from Rochdale, one of three female players at the final table, to the title. Rideout and Barrett, along with third place finisher Keith "Riddla" Ridley from Tynemouth, also win seats to September's Sky Poker Tour Grand Final at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham.
 
Five of the Nine finalists were from the North East including the impressive Rachel "Run Flaming" Costa who was chip leader for much of the day. Her tournament sadly turned on a key final table hand when her Pocket Aces were beaten by Barrett's Ace-King on a flop containing two more Kings.
 
The third Leg of the 2010-11 Sky Poker TOur takes place on March 12th at the G Casino in Luton. Entry is qualification only via satellies on www.skypoker.com which begin this week. Qualification can be gained from as little at £4.60 into what is likely to prove another extremely popular event. Please see the Sky Poker Tournament lobby for details.
