There is little doubt that RCX was the greatest Cup of all-time.  From the great location (LAS VEGAS!) to the high scoring action (The highest scoring tourney ever) to the close finish (Andrew beat Mike by 1 point, the 3rd closest finish in Cup history).  Here's the quick summary:  Biggest blowout ever for a Game 1.  Paul rides his partner again in Game 2 to go 2-0.  Mike and Andrew hold on to Game 3, Paul still in first at the half.  Mike and Eric max out at 13 points in Game 4.  Game 5 highest scoring game ever, Andrew takes over 1st place from Mike thanks to an Eric loner at the end.  Andrew dominates play in Game 6.  In the two highest pressure hands of his life, the final two hands of Game 6, he calls trump twice and wraps up the Cup.

Before Andrew could hoist the Cup, the points were counted no less than 5 times to make sure he was indeed the champ.  Shown above, in the champ's favorite picture, Andrew counts the points one more time, and Eric holds his head as he slowly realizes he will have to wait yet another year for a shot at the Cup.
