Charles Law is PTQ Honolulu at Manawerx, March 15 2009 Champion!
Charles Law
Singaporean Charles Law came and conquered Pro Tour Qualifier Honolulu as his Elves combo deck dealt with Peter Lim's U/B Faerie Wizards, masterfully and patiently playing around Peter's Chalice of the Void before a timely artifact destruction spell took care of the stumbling block, allowing him to power his way through to victory with his combo.
Charles Law defeated Wong Qin Jin and his Slide deck in the quarterfinals before having to fight his way through Mohd Hafiz and his Naya Zoo in the semifinals in order to make his way to the Finals. Peter Lim on his way to the finals defeated GPT Singapore winner Zac Hill and his Mono-Blue Faerie Wizards in the quarterfinals before dispatching the other Singaporean contender in the top 8, Kong Chong Teng in the semifinals, also with Elves combo.
Rounding up the rest of the top 8 are Ng Kar Wye and his Bant Agro-Control and Terry Soh with his Slide. Both of them, along with Wong Qin Jin made back to back top 8 appearances following top 8 appearances just last weekend in the smaller scaled GPT Singapore at Decards.
With the PTQ in the books, many attentions are upon GP Singapore where USD 30,000 is up for grabs, along with Pro Points and more invitations to Pro Tour Honolulu next weekend. Players all around the world are expected to attend as everyone will be fighting hard for the cash, fame and glory.
After the Grand Prix, Malaysians will have another PTQ early April to look forward to as the tournament will wrap up the Extended Constructed season. Yet, after that the year is still filled with plenty of excitement however, as Alara Reborn release celebrations, the road to the World Championships with National Qualifiers and Regional Championships and PTQ Austin season are all forthcoming in the following months to come.
Great times and opportunities abound!

decklists?

i have alot of other real life commitments to deal with right now, as much as I'd like to post up the decklists. for now, they are not a expected feature for this coverage unless I am free before GP Singapore which is unlikely.
