I traveled to Denver on Sunday to catch some of the 2017 Colorado Closed. The Closed is Colorado's premier invitation-only tournament. Here are some of the uninvited at the event:

NM Gunnar Andersen won his 1st Closed! He is the one at the far table in the window holding his head. Following in the footsteps of his Scandinavian predecessor, Max Von Sydow, Gunnar is preparing for his role as Christ. After his 1st miracle at the Closed, he turned his barrel of water into wine!
