Grand Finale - New Location April 10, 2010 Grand Finale Rusty's Clubhouse & Grill 2810 Woodlawn - Lincoln, IL 217-732-7169 Take Exit 126 off I-55 Opposite side of road from Steak N Shake 5 down, 1 to go!  Faddoul Khoury Wins #5 He said he did not feel lucky. I heard him say it and I think he believed it. However, the dice had a little different story to tell. Laurel Patkes was the first opponent to fall. Next in line was Mark King - down he went. And then it was Dave Settles' turn to feel the wrath. Reggie Porter stepped up to the Championship table for the final match only to be denied. Faddoul Khoury was a lucky man and a great backgammon player on Saturday. Congratulations on a job well done! John Jennings and Randy Armstrong had the consolation round, with John getting the win. Last Chance went to Gerry Tansey after defeating Dave Settles. Lucky high hand qualifying for the Knarly Hold 'Em game went to Greg Tomlin, 2 pair, Aces and Jacks!
