2013 Open Pairs

During Thursday 16, Friday 17 and Saturday May 18 was held the National Argentine Championship 2013.

 The Championship was played in the comfortable lounges of the Ayacucho Bridge and the direction, perfect by the way, was in charge of Mr. Ricardo Cohen with the assistance of Christian Cuchian.

Twenty-two pairs competed during the three days. The pair formed by Pancho Montes de Oca and Robin Fellus (ITA) showed an excellent level from the beginning and kept it throughout all the event which allowed them to win.

 In second place finished a South American Master; Pailhe Maria Celia, one of the most successful competitors of the argentine circuit playing wih Jorge Campdepadrós who recently returned to activity.
