BSPT9 - exactly 3 years since the first one (26 runners), and one year since the "last ever" Bear poker event.
When the idea of this reunion / anniversary tournament first occurred to me after a chance conversation, I really wasn't sure how much interest there would be. Former colleagues and participants in the previous 8 events were now scattered all over the City.
Quite a few were now posted overseas and most of those were unable to come (but Valer Zetocha showed up from Madrid to defend his title).
However, interest was very strong and a record field of 104 battled for the title.
A full report is to long for this blog. If you want to see it, send me an email and I will send it on to you. There will be photos as well - John Chukwuma took over 1,000 shots apparently.
Last year's BSPT8 was supposed to be the "last ever". You wouldn't want to bet against another re-running, not least because I need to keep hosting them until I win again !
