Chris Cole has done it again. Just two months after grabbing first place and $100,000 at the Maloof Money Cup in New York City, Cole won first place and another $100,000 at the Maloof Money Cup in Orange County. Add that to his win at the 2009 Maloof Money Cup Orange County and Cole has taken $300,000 and three first place prizes from the Maloof brothers in just over a year's time!
Since Paul Rodriguez and Ryan Sheckler were not competing in this contest due to their consigned obligations to Street League, Cole was the favorite to win the big money all weekend long. That doesn't mean that there weren't serious contenders gunning for the top prize and giving Cole a run for his money. The finals were stacked with heavy hitters including Torey Pudwill, Sean Malto, Nyjah Huston, Ryan Decenzo, David Gonzalez and Bastien Salabanzi, all of whom had a shot winning. But let's be honest, the general feeling among the crowd here in Orange County was that it was Cole's contest to win or lose.

While corndogs the size of your arm, pig races and blue ribbons are still part of the annual bonanza, they certainly aren't at the forefront of this year's ramped-up fest that runs Friday to Aug. 3.
