Congratulations to Rob for doing a fantastic and outstanding job running Pittsburgh! Thanks to Butch and MaryAnn for being such a great help!

Kudos to Rob for making clocks mandatory in championship event and masters!

Great tournament, even if I did not cash!

Great people in Pittsburgh!

Sean Garber cashed in three events and attempted to put all his cash winnings in his wallet. I have seen more cash than Sean had, but I have never seen more cash in a single wallet all at the same time. Sean had a two-inch thick wad of bills in his wallet, setting an unofficial record for most number of bills ever in one wallet at one time! Thank you, Sean for trusting me to hold and fondle your stuffed wallet for a few seconds. Even if it was not mine, it was the highlight of my weekend to share that experience with you!
