That's A Wrap
While the start of this day was confusing, the ending was not. To begin the day, only eight players had registered for the second flight, and there was talks of not letting the players play for the Championship since there were not as many players in this flight as the Day 1a flight. However, after some tinkering, the eight players were allowed to play and thus it began. The eight players, Scott Montgomery, William Thorson, Carlos Mortensen, Melanie Weisner, Terrence Chan, Anton Morgenstern, Nikolay Evdakov, and Alexander Kostritsyn all took their seats for their best of three matches.
Montgomery advanced and played Kostritsyn in the second round. Chan, and Mortensen also advanced. Kostritsyn dispatched of Montgomery rather quickly, but Chan and Mortensen battled for quite some time. Mortensen finally pulled the plug on Chan's hopes and he moved on to face Kostritsyn.
The two battled for two hours, but Mortensen won two matches in a row and will now face Barry Woods and Dan Smith in the finals. The three will start a round robin match at 2:00 p.m. local time and the first player to beat two straight opponents will be crowned the Australia Heads Up Champion. We'll be back then to bring you all the action.
