Jay Bonin didn't win the U.S. Open...

...but he did win the Marshall's "Not the U.S. Open", played over the weekend of August 8th and 9th, with 3.5 out of 4! Michael Thaler had a chance to catch Jay, as the two met head to head in the last round, but "The Bone" held Michael to a draw. Yefim Treger, Yevgeni Margulis, & Eigen Wang split 2nd and 3rd places with Michael Thaler. Current Marshall treasurer Jason Margiotta & Miles Hinson split the U2000 prize, with Bingjie Liu and the dark horse Henry Mori (rated 1191!) splitting the U1700 prize.
