116 players participated in the Grand Pacific Open last weekend. John Doknjas beat 11 titled players to the first place, not even sharing it at 4.5/5, conceding his only draw to FM Jason Cao (4/5) in the last round. Cao tied for second with NM Howard Wu and NM Tanraj Sohal, in a 45 players open section.
