Matt Sittel - $1,000 - 0:53
Brian Peterkin - $1,000 - 1:04

I wonder why TPTB ignored their own tiebreaker rules in displaying this order? According to the banked time figures, it should be Brian, then Matt, then Kazia.

And if any of these $1,000 winners actually makes it to the Tournament, poor MBFFB's head is going to explode!
