Atlanta, GA -- In his third round match against Eric Kesselman at GP Atlanta, Mike Long failed to draw an "appropriate number and selection" of land cards on his way to a two game loss to Kesselman.

Observers were shocked as Long drew only three swamps by turn five. Long was allegedly overheard saying that this was not supposed to happen and that something had gone severely wrong. Long then reportedly asked for a "do over" stating that he forgot to "shuffle" his deck properly and that it was unfair for that to be held against him in such an important event. Long's request was promptly denied by both the table judge and later by the event's head judge.
