Michael Murphy grinded out a 3-2 victory over Ross Bradsen to take his first tournament win.  Michael was in tough as Ross was the runner up in the recent BC open, but Murphy weathered the storm, as many us did on the drive home as the snow hit the lower mainland, to take the title.  Both players got a good number of points to help them in the overall standings.  Newcomer Stephen Folan gave Ross a tough semi final match but in his first tournament of the year, Folan took third place from the island man Jon Shoring.  In addition, we welcomed new players Sachin Kumar and Vicky Agarwall.  With only two qualifying tournaments left, there is plenty of time and points for players to qualify for the Canadian open.

 

Thank you to our volunteer officials, Tyler Choutka and Denise Poulin for coming out and helping out with the tourney.  Also thanks to Rob Johnson and AAAlabs for their help in printing and designing the posters.  As well big thanks to Jonathan Sun and everybody at Top 147 for the continuing help with us to put on these tournaments for you.
