Lest you think the tournament was a complete disaster for the friends of Top8magic may I present one very relieved Gabe Carlton-Barnes. Gabe slid into Day Two with a 5-3 record, piloting the same deck that let down JamieP, Sadin, and Jake Van Lunen.

Apparently there were a couple of exciting squeakers along the way. I will try and get some details about that in the morning.

Good luck on Day Two tomorrow, Gabe.
