If I read the bulletin correctly, jdonn won the North American Swiss in Las Vegas. Nice win, Josh.. it was a very strong field.

Very nice finish to the tournament Jdown. It's great when one of our own has a big win like this.

Well done, Josh! (probably in an all-night poker-game right afterwards!)

Well done Josh. When are you going to get that chain with the mini JDonn license plate?

Thanks all! No poker afterwards, a mix of the bar, sushi, sake, beer pong, more bar, cafe, and drunken jlall.

I would like to note that everyone played great, but our Norweigans are G0000000DS (thanks for letting us borrow them Harold!) But it feels good in a ridiculously tough field, we pretty much played a sick team every round. Kudos to jlall for sitting out the match we played his team hehe.

That must be one hell of a field you'd have been facing. Nobody is more hungry or PO'ed than those KO'ed in earler rounds of Spingold. Great Job !

Congrats dude, you have come a long way in bridge since I first met you and you really deserve this one!

BTW don't think that me being drunk means I forgot about our bet though! B)

Very nice win Josh!

Next time I recommend not standing next to Gordon when the picture is taken.
