Global News’ own, Ryan Peddigrew, was on scene at this year’s 1000 Islands Kingston Poker Run to take in the excitement. Peddigrew heard first hand from Poker Runs America’s Bill Taylor and the owner of the word famous “My Way” boat, Bill Tomlinson about what this big event means to them.
Participants and spectators travelled from all over North-America to be involved in the remarkable exhibition that is the 38th annual Kingston Poker Run.
Since the late 80’s, this yearly event witnesses some of the globe’s most exquisite offshore vessels congregating in the city, seeking both the chance to win first prize and the enjoyment that comes with it.
A full recap of the event along with arial footage is soon to come. See our big winners down below! Thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors as well who helped to make this amazing event possible!
