With 28 players in attendance and great deal of players handicapped 8 or higher this even was destined to be a Sniper’s Shootout. After the first round players were divided into A-side and B-Side with each side paying half the prize money.
Erik Hjorleifson (11) marched undefeated to the A-side win over Mike Black (8). Erik only stumbled against Dean McNaughton (9) where he found himself down (4-1) before climbing back to win (5-4).
Mike Black made it to A-side Final in relatively easy fashion defeating perennial favourites, Greg Ross (8) and Sam Maltese (8) along the way.
On the B-side, Derek Babcock (5) rebounded from a first round loss and beat AJ Tibayan (7) in the final to win the loot. AJ, was no slouch in getting to the B-side after steam-rolling Martin Yacobazzo (5-1).
The big winner of the day however was Ron Scriver who won his entries to all Petrina’s tournaments for the year in a blind draw. A free-roll extraordinaire for Mr. Scriver.
