Black & White Classic - San Francisco

Name/Title

Black & White Classic - San Francisco

Description

Another of Lewis Deyong's high-end backgammon events featuring a black-tie dinner. The $25,000 in added prize money provided by Black & White Whisky essentially provides the charitable contribution to the the Cystic Fibrosis Summer Camp -- player entry fees went directly to the charity, not to the prize pool, with the added money providing a cash pot commensurate with those donations (presuming a full slate of players). The tournament was won by local player Allen Van Gelder.
