The match went to the full five games. In the end, Kamahl, Pit Fighter stepped up to bat for Farid Meraghni, and Jens Thoren's green-white deck was ill-equipped to remove it. He made a game of it, Overrunning with Thaumatog in play. He blew up all his land in a desperate try, but Meraghni turned over Moment's Peace to take the Championship. Meraghni, of France, is touted by its pros as "The Next Big Thing", and practices Magic almost constantly. Well, his hard work paid off this weekend, giving him the big upset win over the established Thoren. Congratulations to Farid Meraghni, Pro Tour San Diego 2002 Champion!
