Players in the News: Missed mention from the Las Vegas results last month: Nick Ballard, winner of the Super Jackpot.
Many thanks to Richard McIntosh and Nick for sharing their Las Vegas wealths. Richard bagel-and-cheesed us all, and Nick chocolated the crowd for dessert. Yummy!
We say goodbye, and we say hello: First-time players Micheal Austin, Leon Eskanazi, Anna Estrada, Martha Ghio and Jonathan Treadwell receive a heartfelt welcome. Cedric Gildoni, visiting the US from Nice, France, for the last few months, has a permanent welcome mat on our doorstep; Cedric returns home after this month, and says he hopes to see us all at a Monte Carlo tournament sometime. It was wonderful to see Jim Mason "back in action." Emil Malek popped in from his world travels to check up on us. And Jon Vietor delivered greetings from San Diego. Hello, goodbye and please come again as the shoe fits!
