Tuesday Open Pairs Winners: JC Chupack & Scott Chupack
Event winners JC and Scott Chupack needed seven rounds in the final session to go from seventh overall to first, and from that point on it was a race with runners up Cindy Chan and Gustav Axen, who got very close at several points but came only a third of a top short. Those two pairs were also 1-2 in Strat B, and the Strat C winners, Kimberly Gilmore and Grant Davis, had a similar story, coming from third at the break to taking the lead for good after six rounds.
Two-session pairs event, scored in matchpoints. Strat limits (by pair average): A: 4000+ / B: 1500 – 4000 / C: 0 – 1500. Average masterpoints for players in this event: 3126
