Congrats to the unstoppable force that is Michaal for winning and also to Marc and Scott for grabbing 2nd and 4th respectively and the final prize money even if DG did beat me in the process - but fair play, he held his nerve under intense pressure over the 2nd half of the round and deserved the play off win!

4 out of the top 5 from the KMGC - are we good or what?!

VTK!

You wanna report? You gotta one!!
