Brian's Cuesport Stream Part 1:
Part 2:
The latest chapter of The Gunn Show XX held at Dooly's Portland St had 57 players come out to play for top spots, and did not disappoint. This is the start of a new Era for the Gunn Shows at my new venue with so much more room to see them grow.
On top of the 5 gas cards which were won that day, there was a 16 player Second Chance offered to those who were eliminated early from the event, and wished to continue on, this was a big success and seen 15 players sign up to battle it out for a chance at the four paid spots. The 50/50 draw did well having raised $420.00 being raised and Dale B. and my name were drawn for half the winnings....it was a good day for The Canadian Cancer Society and The Dooly's Portland St. "Breakfast Program", our charities are so important to help support.
Everyone was playing amazing (including our own Dale B.) who was playing and helping me run the event (thank you to Kyle R. for stepping in to help out as well). There were past champions and runner-ups participating in the tournament, with some new faces that went quite far and showed just how much they wanted the win. By introducing the new 16 player re-draw for the first time in the Gunn Show Event, this ensured we would be done in one day and the final sixteen showed their stuff as seen in many of the hill-hill (close too) matches.
All of the amazing playing came down to our former two time winner Kyle Richard against Chris Penney. Kyle made it to the hill on the single race race to 7, only to have Chris push back by wining two matches and started coming back. Chris P. had a great run on the final match and attempted a beautiful cut into the corner, only to have it rattle off Kyle's ball, which allowed Kyle back to the table to clinch the 7-4 win (there were some nail-bitter moments which can be seen on Brian's Cuesport Streams). Congratulations to Kyle R. and Chris P. for an amazing finish to a very successful day, just great playing by both.
I want to give a huge shoutout to Jen Reid and her staff at Dooly's Portland St. for providing the new home to my Tournaments, to Dale Brimicombe for always being by my side since my very first one in 2016, we work perfect together. To Brian McNamara from Brian's Cuesport Streams, thank you for being part of the Team and putting the endless hours into streaming My/CSNS/Metro Pool League events, you do an amazing job and the pool community are lucky to have you. Finally, to all of the players who support my Events.....a Huge Thank You to you all for making them so special and keeping them growing, you are all amazing.
