By scoring a draw in the 3rd round against NM Prilleltensky, and then defeating the hard to beat Trevor Brooks in the final round, Ernie Johnson outright won the Poughkeepsie Quick event with 3.5 out of 4.

Eight players participated in the two day (4/1, 4/8) event. Trevor, still greatly under-rated, took the Booster prize for best result in the bottom half of the rating section (which should also tell you how tough of a field this event was).
