It was almost like history repeating itself. Fortunately for Darrem Charles the ending was different this time around. After three runner-up finishes this year, Charles finally hit paydirt, toppling Johnnie Jackson to win the Atlantic City Pro on Saturday. The win was a role reversal from three weeks ago, when Jackson got the better of Charles at the Montreal Pro Classic. "We're all training to come out on top," Charles said. "You just never know what's going to happen. My goal was to win the other shows but I didn't." "The whole conversation with beating Johnnie, I don't get into that. If the judges have him first, he's first until the next show. He's not a cocky guy. We're all pros and anything can happen on any given day. Today was just my day." With the win, Charles now has won at least one show a year for the fifth consecutive year.
