Zohar Bhagat wins Grand Prix Minneapolis

Zohar Bhagat at Grand Prix MinneapolisOutlasting 1,187 players at Grand Prix Minneapolis, Zohar Bhagat took first place after defeating David Ochoa of ChannelFireball.com in the quarter-finals, Brian Kibler a future Hall of Famer in the semi-finals and Matt Sperling, an attorney and a Pro Tour player, in the finals!

A very interesting historical fact of Zohar is that he is out of CMU, Carnegie Mellon University. For those of you who don’t know, CMU is to Magic what Harvard is to business. That college has a fantastic track record for producing high quality competitive Magic players, players like R&D member, Mike Turian.
