Super happy for him. Hopefully he doesn't get snubbed this year at the MC. Surprisingly, no one from Team USA was at this tournament. Lukas defeated Naoyuki Oi 13-10 to win in the finals.

That is so awesome. I am really happy for him. He defeated a really great player in the finals. He must have played great. I really love his game. Such a solid player.

Yeah, Sky would just chose his favorites again.
By far the best performance by Lucas Fracasso-Verner. He beat Emil Gangflot, Szymon Kural and Naoyuki Oi in his final three matches.
His win over Oi is imo his best ever.
I watched LFV a lot last year and, frankly, didn't think he was ready for prime time. No real big wins in his career. This event had a dozen top players, however, and to win the whole event is very impressive. I plan to watch his wins over Kural and Oi later to see how he did it.
Hard to find prize distribution, but it looks like Lukas won $5,000, which is 5,000 Mosconi points. He still trails Fedor, SVB, Tyler, Woodward, Thorpe and Dominguez in WNT rankings, but he is very close. Some of the others will see some points drop out later in the year.

I like a lot about him including he's a gambler and he has an old school McDermott he plays with sometimes.
Looking forward to this man's game improving.
Wondering how well he'll do with 4'' pockets.
Likely pretty good, considering Raxx has 4.25 pockets that are worn in + the e coast humidity.
Nice win for the up and comer.
