Best tournament in GPTT history;  Legend is King for the 9th Time; Punisher and Dr. J reunite and

return

17 players turn out for largest tournament draw in GPTT history

An epic night of table tennis action has come and gone and the aftershock will be felt for months, if not years.  "Dr. J" Johnny Johnson made a shocking return as did his old partner "The Punisher" Junior Gullett.  It was an iconic moment to see three of the top five players together again and in competition.  Chairman Crase says the "magic" is back.  "The Legend" Byron Risner fought through the most talented tournament field in GPTT history to once again become the King of the Table, for the ninth time, edging out archrival "The Punisher" Junior Gullett in two sets that were a war of attrition.  "Junior is there for every point, he does not quit, and if you let up on him for a second you'll pay for it.  He's an incredible competitor that I respect immensely, " says Byron Risner.  Click here for our details of one of GPTT's greatest nights ever.
