In the Top Section, which was noticably absent of many of Charlotte's top players, (some speculated that the fear of losing was the reason), NM Jairo Moreira (2339) ran off consecutive wins against Todd "Flowers" Trower (2021), NM Leland "El-Duce" Fuerstman (2033) and Keith "Chuck" Eubanks (2048) to score his second perfect 3-0 in as many attempts and pocket $75. Also finishing with 3-0 and winning $75 was darkhorse Jamie McGavran (1860) who registered wins against Patrick "Goose Egg" McCartney (2033), NM Daniel "Deep" Liu (2000) and Todd "Flowers" Trower (2021). In the Middle Section, James "Frugal" MacDougall (1728) notched wins against Michael "the Savage" Savage (1421), Robert C. Moore (1700) and Dr. Gerard "the Butcher" Sztyber (1764) to file back-to-back 3-0's in Smokehouse competition and win $100.
