Outside of pre-tournament favorites Hohmann, Appleton, Schmidt and Immonen, some guys that have really turned heads so far are:
Shane Van Boening: Rock solid and getting more and more comfortable in the discipline. Has a good playing rhythm for 14.1, and is undefeated.
Justin Bergman: Won his first four with relative ease. Drew high praise from John Schmidt for his play.
Tony Robles: Delighting the local crowd with his fine play, still undefeated.
Kevin Clark: Relative unknown, but this guy can play. Still has a chance to win his group over Immonen.
