Tournament Report

Reigning Tantrix World Champion Attila Mikulan was the pre-tournament favorite but with a combined 52 podium finishes among the eleven contestants it was never going to be easy. And it wasn't. In a down to the wire finish, Mike McManaway needed to win his 18th and final match against Jungle Payne and hope that his daughter Marina McManaway could upset Atilla for the second time in two days. Alas, Marina was not able to make it two out of two, and the lucky Hungarian continued his recent streak of triumphs.
