2009 ACPT Finals — “A” Division
I was there for this one. It was an incredibly thrilling finish to the tournament (ACPT finals, for whatever reason, are typically nail-biters). When four-time champ Tyler Hinman finally fills in the last few letters and turns from the board, he thinks he’s finished in third. He’s the last in the room to know.
The question this year: can Tyler do it again? Good luck to him and all the competitors.
