Congratulations to Valeri Kim of Akvelon, who overcame Minh Le of Silicon Valley Bank in the finals to claim the title. Le defeated Adam Harris of Concur in the semis, in perhaps the most closely contested match of of the tournament. Kim, who didn't drop a game in the entire tournament, bested Dmitry Balin of Pikaba.com in his semifinal round.

Other prize winners were Amy Bohutinsky of Zillow.com, who found the golden ping pong ball hidden under the dragon's tongue; and Shannon Ressler of Findwell and John Dietz of Adometry, who both won Spirit awards in their elaborate outfits.

Also see video coverage of the event, posted earlier today.

A big thanks also to presenting sponsor Bing; event sponsors Solutions IQ; Seattle University Master of Software Engineering program, and Microsoft BizSpark; and bracket sponsor Washington Technology Industry Association.
