Wednesday Gold Rush 0-750 Pairs

Winners: Michael Moore, Diane Zebroff

Event winners Michael Moore and Diane Zebroff were third at the break and dropped as far as eighth overall before mounting a remarkable comeback in the final five rounds to finish more than a board ahead!  Carole Clugston and Dianna Gilbreath were second overall and began the afternoon session in second in the under-300 and under-200 strats, but quickly took the lead after a round, retook it after a small blip in the middle of the session, and it was only a disastrous final round that prevented them from winning all three strats!
