Tomato's 150K Celebration tourney results: DukeNukem wins!

This past Saturday, April 20, Tomato hosted the 150K Celebration
tourney to commemorate 150,000 tourneys held on chessclub.com since
its inception. 

The tournament was a 9-round Swiss, with a time control of 4 2, and was 
a huge success, drawing a record number of 503 players!! 

This easily shattered the previous record of 424 players for a Tomato
