Hmmm, I remember reading in an interview that Marcelo Garcia said he was competing in this? Guess not.
 
I might not be able to view that site when I am at work later tonight so if someone could please post the result of the Paul Stark vs Bill Cooper Match that would be much appreciated. If you could just say who won, by what and at what time that would be great. Thanks!
 
marcelo was injured or something i believe.
 
Looks like a few of the big names are missing. But hey, forum poster Brian McLaughlin is competing! (Im assuming its the same guy) Good luck to him!
 
I wonder why no Ryan Hall? Ya Marcelo said he has an injury.

Just goes to show a good heelhook remains the easiest way to beat somebody better than you!
 
Also, McLaughlin officially kicked ass at this tourney.
 
final four xande ribeiro vs. Rustam chsiev and bruno bastos vs joao assis
 
I have a sneaking suspicion that Chsiev pulls off another upset and takes this thing...
