Steve Goes Deep in the DO Deux
| Club 42 director Steve Pellinen played in the second annual Dallas Open -- dubbed the DO Deux -- March 9-11, 2007. He finished seventh in a field of 130 players. One highlight of the 22-game tournament for Steve was an exciting 18th-round matchup against former SCRABBLE® World Champion Brian Cappelletto at table one. This game was annotated on the official tournament website; use the link below to play through the game move-by-move. The winner of the 2005 National SCRABBLE® Championship, Dave Wiegand of Portland, Oregon (17-5, +1855), bested Brian Cappelletto by 125 spread points to place first and to take home a $4,000 cash prize. Steve won $300 for finishing first in "group one" (see final commentary link below for an explanation). |
