Hello. First round probably still going on.

But we do have some early photos, courtesy of Vegas Jay Petrick's facebook page.

I posted them onto a public web page on the lthl site, but due to facebook's photo size restrictions (I think), they are small-ish.

Anyway, you can see Pontus, Rzonca, Johnny Labs, flags, Vegas chips, Frenchy McGee and others here:

Lars wins Game 6 by a 5-2 tally. So it's all tied up headed into Game 7. Crowd sure getting its money's worth.

VegasJay said it was 1-0 Pontus with 3 minutes left, indicating a flurry of scoring in the second half of the game.

EricK · Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2010 9:04 pm Post subject:

EricK · Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2010 9:09 pm Post subject: and your winner is...

Lars wins 3-2 to come all the way back and take the A pool 4-3.

Vegas Jay reports that Lars scored with about a second left to win it. Pontus had scored with maybe 10 seconds left to tie it.

Congrats to Lars and Pontus for such a great, dramatic series.

And thank you to Johnny Labs and Vegas Jay for providing the results throughout the day. Everyone who is curious in the TH world benefited from it, including folks in Europe (via the ITHF twitter feed I was posting to as well).

Congrats to Jim and Pierre for organizing another Vegas tournament.
