The 2019/20 RPT Christmas game was held at the Grosvenor Casino in Huddersfield, which saw a sell-out leg and the majority of players showing up in their Christmas jumpers. After a long battle on the felt, it was John ‘Johnny Vegas’ Gurnhill who came out on top, beating Graham Gorton heads-up to qualify for his 3rd VEGAS100. Also a special mention to Graham who only recently won the West Midlands Two regional final to qualify for VEGAS100 himself. A man in form!
