GM Joey Antonio Quits

GM Joey Antonio quits after round 6 due to sinusitis and fever. As what IA Willie Abalos, the tournament director "This morning, he really had a difficult time getting up from his bed and ordering his breakfast. After lunch, he was seen taking tremendous amount of medication for his condition".

  3. I'm not really sure for the exact reason for the pull-out of one of our solid GM players but there's this unspoken speculation, even among the players and tournament offials (I believe they were protecting the GM too) that he really had this bad performance. tsk! tsk! i hope he gets back into his winning form.
