David Marley wins the second Leg of the 2009-10 Sky Poker Tour

David "Daveyzz" Marley won the second leg of the 2009-10 Sky Poker Tour at Newcastle's Aspers Casino on Saturday 9th January, beating David "Raffles" Evans, into second place. David beat 149 other players, who qualified on www.skypoker.com for as little as £2.40, to the first prize of £4,000 and also wins a seat into next September's SPT Grand final at DTD.

The final table line up was as follows:

  • Seat 1 Daveyzz David Marley from Bridlington 96,000
  • Seat 2 Kevilfish Kevin Wood from S Queensferry 42,500
  • Seat 3 Burders Andrew Burden from S Shields 48,000
  • Seat 4 JohnPick John Pickering from Chester-leStreet 145,500
  • Seat 5 Raffles Dave Evans from Sunderland 97,500
  • Seat 6 Mick Jenn  Mick Jennings from Crewe 94,000
  • Seat 7 Hairybot Helen Rideout from Brighton 46,500
  • Seat 8 Fanndango Carl Teasdale from Durham 62,500
  • Seat 9 GeordieGaz Gary Graham from Newcastle 53,500
  • Seat 10 riverrobbo Richard Robinson from Carlisle 70,500


Several hours later Daveyzz triumphed, his key hand coming when he was all-in versus JohnPick with five players remaining. Daveyzz's 9-9 were up against JohnPick's J-J and his tournament life at stake and only two outs in the deck to save him. The flop delivered not one miracle but two, with the Q-9-9 flop giving him quads and a much needed double up. From that point on he never looked back, winning the final hand after he took second pair and an open-ended straight draw against Raffles' flopped top pair, and rivered a straight to win the tournament.

The event throughout was played in a superb atmosphere and players can qualify to participate in Leg 3 at Luton's G Casino on 6th March 2010 via satellites on www.skypoker.com which begin shortly. Please see the Sky Poker Lobby for details.
