Unfortunately the hail storms are too ferocious for our international media friends and getting some up-to-date reporting has proven very difficult.

However I do have a few updates for you:

Jack "Papajac" Hinchey, Joe - our Toronto Edge qualifier, as well as our online 888 qualifier have all suffered first round casualties. Such a well-structured tournament will always attract some very tough competition and our 888 players were unlucky to run into some rigid opponents in the early rounds.

Jack tells us he will be participating in a few of the side events though so hopefully we will have some good news to report.

On a positive note, online player Spektah from Quebec is demonstrating some great natural ability in the HU arena with a 6-0 record over his first three matches and has moved into the next round to square off against Hellmuth. Good luck Ben!
