Sunday night at 7pm (1 hour late registration) sees the 3rd match in the PokerStars.com National Online League. In an exciting finish to last weekend’s match, Scottish player Gillian Collins outlasted 453 other APAT members to take the individual honours, and Gillian’s result added to the contribution of her team mates was enough to see Scotland earn maximum points in the match, followed by London, South East, Wales & Ireland. After two matches, Scotland have taken the lead in the League, by 1 point from South East.
