Tony Philips showed the Geordies how it is done and beat a strong final table line up to win the Newcastle leg of the GUKPT Poker tour. The likeable PokerVerdict sponsored played showed the site that their faith in him had not been misplaced as he brought home the trophy and a £44k first place prize. Steve Jelinek finished 2nd with the impressive Henning Granstad in 3rd.
Meanwhile North of the border Aberdeen and Glasgow battled it out over the birthplace of the most famously recognised Scot of them all Simpsons character - Groundskeeper Willie.
Back in 2005 Willie headed a poll of most recognised Scot worldwide beating James Bond star Sean Connery and Ewan MacGregor in a newspaper poll.
Could Willie be related to Tony? Hmmm will ask next time we see him.
