Fresh off his World Championship victory last month, Bowen Kerins (left) captured another victory besting out Jory Rabinovitz (middle) in the finals of the P3 Tournament at Allentown. Other finalists included Steve Bowden (right - 3rd) and Ed Zeltmann (4th).
Between players needing to make flights and the show needing to close down, Neil Shatz, Josh Sharpe, Keith Elwin and Donavan Stepp decided to call it a draw at this year’s Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown. Players qualified on both Spider-Man and Wheel of Fortune with the top 16 players advancing to the final round. Neil defeated Josh in the finals of the winner’s bracket, while Keith and Donavan advanced to the semifinals of the loser’s bracket. To determine who took what trophy home, one 4-player game of Wheel of Fortune was played. Neil finished 1st, with Josh 2nd, Keith 3rd and Donavan 4th.
Sean O’Neill (inside left) defeated 37 other players, capturing first place at this year’s Rochester Gameroom Show P3 tournament. Other finalists included Sean Grant (2nd - inside right), Trent Augenstein (3rd - right) and Ed Zeltmann (4th - left).
The top 8 qualifiers on Stern’s Wheel of Fortune battled in a best of 5 single elimination tournament with Trent Augenstein (middle) defeating Josh Sharpe (right) three games to one. Zach Sharpe (left) finished 3rd, but also took 1st place in the Classics division.
