BetFred.com Gave $10,000 Away Friday

Live Tournament Was Filled With Drawing Winners On Friday night, eight Manchester, England locals got to sit down with each other and two world champions to try to win a piece of the $10,000 prize pool that online gaming site BetFred.com put up. The eight players were chosen randomly through a promotion by the Manchester Evening News, in which even 10th place walked away with $230. First place earned $3,400. Stephen Hendry and Mark Williams have earned their world championship titles playing snooker. But that doesn’t mean the two players don’t know their way around the round felt table. Hendry has played in World Series of Poker events and Williams is a regular in European poker tournaments. The event was held at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester, and was catered and had a full bar. The contest winners didn’t really stand a chance against the pros. At the end of the night, Williams held all the chips and the check for $3,400.
