Round two was seated featuring a father, son matchup and Jacob Holker looking to make a finals appearance in his first BattleGroundSanDiego event.

Corey Burkhart defeated Scott Burkhart, Scott was seen shortly thereafter departing for In-N-Out burger, something that has become some what of a BattleGroundSanDiego tradition.

Jacob Holker saw his day come to an end versus Matthew Okimoto.

The finals match up is set and two veterans from 4 Color Fantasies in Rancho Cucamonga found themselves faced with the hurdle of one another for the tournament champion. This was a rematch from arlier in the day with Corey winning the first.

In the end, Corey was declared the tournament champion and his Velindra Sepulchre deck withstood them all. Curiously enough, it wa the only Velindra deck being fielded for the day.

The prize support was handed out and Corey performed a quick interview for Paul Hollingsworth and the day came to an end.

All in all a great day with some highly skilled combatants talking the battle ground.

The decklist have been updated on the website as are the points standings.

Now to bed.
