Duncan “Banks” a spot in the BC Open

 

Duncan Banks defeats a veteran of the game Gary Wallace to win the third BC Open qualifier of the season in an epic affair.  It was a big grinder affair, a long battle that went the distance in the decider.  All the way down to the final black for Duncan to achieve a spot in the BC Open by winning 3-2.  Gary Wallace grabbed another second place and keeps knocking on the door, and getting ever so close to get a spot in the BC Open, can he get it in the fourth qualifier?  It was great seeing some new faces in the room, along with the usual cast of characters.  We haven’t had a female competitor in a while, so it was very nice to meet and see you play Margo Lisvenko, who is only 16.  In addition, nine-year-old Hriyan Dassani won his first match.  He is fearless!!!  With more youngsters playing in these tournaments, the future looks bright!!  I have attached the completed tournament bracket to this email.
