Georgia Youth Open Pairs State Championship 2008
[12/09/08]
At the Georgia
Youth Pairs State Championship this Saturday we had 19 tables of our Georgia
youth testing their skills. Richard and Andrew Jeng of Johns Creek came
out on top, snagging the 1st -place trophy in a closely-run race
against Murphy Green and Ashish Shah of Alpharetta who finished 2nd . With one round to play, there was approximately a 3-matchpoint difference
between the pairs.
Third place went to Zandy Rizzo and Arjun
Dhir, with Ricoh Das and Sean Gannon finishing fourth.
Mili Raina and Kenneth Yang (5th) were followed
by Surabhi Ghai and Hunter Smith (6th).
In the Card Rookie pairs (the newcomer event)
Sahil and Nikita Raina finished 1st , followed by Bob
Wiley and Ally Wardlow in 2nd place.
