2015 SPSA Poker Run Results

We had a nice sunny day Saturday and a great time sailing around Tampa Bay picking up our poker cards. The wind was a bit light, but that made it easier to pick up the cards. Commodore Richar Boler’s crew on Desedirata really cleaned up taking the top two hands! Good fun and food was had at Courigan’s, the final card stop. Thanks to Past Commodore Jack O’Connell for dealing cards! We hope to make this an annual event going forward.

Best hand – Charlotte Frasca
2nd Best hand – Bob Boler
Worst hand – Harvey Ford
