Prize Winners:  * means tied 

Open Section

 

Second Place winner John Bryant with team cheerleader Rose Sevillano. Mike Taylor also won big. 

First Place: Enrico Sevillano (4 1/2) $500    Second Place: John Bryant (4) $250

BU2300: Adam Corper (3 1/2) $200    Second U2300: Francis Chen (3) $50

BU2100: Leonard Sussman (3 1/2) $200 

Sussman is the new San Diego County Champion because Sevillano and Bryant are not County residents. Leonard beat out Rick Aeria and Adam Corper (by 1/2 a tiebreak point over Adam). I would say Lenny's win over John Bryant pushed him over the top. Overall a very good event for Lenny, he won three games, had a bye and lost only to Sevillano.
