In round 5 Menendian (@SMenendian on Twitter) just bested MeanDeck teammate and friend Paul Mastriano in the 73 card mirror match. Steve then lost Nick Coss (allegedly piloting Minus 6) in round 6, and has just beat Josh Chapple (playing UBW Wizards) in round 7, and then drew with Mark Hornung into the Top 8 next round.
Notable East Coaster Ryan Glackin (@KingSquee on Twitter) has been on a nice hot streak in 2011, and has started off 5-0, beating UR Jace Control RD1, another Jace deck RD2, Painter RD3, Mono Red Workshop w/Magus RD4, and GW aggro RD5. Glackin was paired against Joe Brown (also 5-0) in round 6 and they intentionally drew, putting them both at 5-0-1. Ryan just lost to Rich Shay in round 7, and needs to win his next round to secure a Top 8 slot after his ID in round 5 with friend Joe Brown.
Rich Shay has come to play this weekend. After going 9-0 in Vintage Prelim 1 on Thursday he is currently standing at 7-0 after beating Ryan Glackin, and he has locked up a Top 8 birth.
