Smalltalk: A very exciting weekend is ahead of us: both the Cardmaster 1K Standard as well as PTQ San Diego are just the tip of the iceberg as Pro Tour Austin 2009 sees the best minds and most competitive players around the world battle it out for the top prize of $40,000 and the fame that goes along being a Pro Tour champion.
Malaysian student in Melbourne, Marcus Teo went undefeated on day 2's swiss rounds on his way to the top 8 and a sweet payout of $1,500USD after barely making through on day 1 with the minimum 6-2 finish with a 3rd place finish. He fell in the top 8 only to eventual winner and current Player of the Year race leader - Yuuya Watanabe.
