As 2017 draws to a close, here at northeastpool we look at who has played for the most money over the past year. Where we have had the most matches played, and who plays for the most money per match.
Most Money Played for in 2017
If you follow money match pool in the north east, this one should be pretty obvious. Gavin Robinson leads the way with £92140 played for in 2017. Thats nearly 20% of the whole amount the north east has played for and nearly double what Marc Farnsworth has played for who lies in 2nd place. Theres no doubt about it, Gav just loves a money match, and im sure with all the experience he has gained this year, 2018 could be a very profitable year for him.

Total Matches Played in 2017
As expected, we see Gavin Robinson near the top of most matches played for this year, however, unsurprisingly we see Kevin Duke top of the pile with a total of 16 matches played in total. Chris Patrick is another who loves a money match and its no surprise he is in third with 8 games played which is soon to be 9 with a big £10k match on the 16th December at Wardles
