Canadian John Morra has made the trip as he we will be playing two events. The first will be a 30k prize pool singles tournament, which is acting as a warm up tournament for the doubles. With two tournaments boasting these large prize pools top players such as Mika Immonen, Jayson Shaw, Earl Strickland, Shane Van Boening and the list goes on have made the trek.

Ralf Soquet was originally slated to play with Hohmann however due to a scheduling conflict had to pull out. Morra was asked to fill in which is not only an honour to play with a multiple World Champion, but shows what Hohmann and others think of Canada's # 1 player. We will be updating the singles and the doubles tournaments throughout these next 12 days so check back in to see who the big winners are.
