Who is Dechaine ? I get around a little bit but I have never heard of this person and suddenly he is playing for big $. His name has never been mentioned in the forums as far as I know.

He's young (21) and an up and coming champion. I think he finished 5th in the 9-Ball at DCC this year. He goes by mainplayer on here. You can find his posts. I'll go out on a limb and say he is the best 21 and under player in North America at this time. Including Justin Bergman and John Morra.

This guy is Mr. Action. Supposedly if any of you are feeling froggy he (and his backer buddy) will bet up to a $1,000,000.00 on a match. This was heard first hand last night when he was playing a match for change (only 3 dimes). He does play very well (when he decides that it's the right time for him to know how to hit a ball, if ya know what I mean).
Thanks for the donation guys ;).

I think he meant he is living in Vegas now. He has been all over the West lately he was just in LA last weekend and he was supposed to play in that best in the west tourney in LA. I wonder if he got better action in AZ i noticed Scott and Mitch stayed home as well:confused:

I'm not sure about everyone else, but I would like to see him and Ryan Stone match up!:smile:

You might not think it means much but he also won the Open Amateur event at Hopkins' Super Billiards Expo at Valley Forge in 2007. No small feat as this event has approximately 1,000 players.

I agree too Jay. But we are looked down at for asking for weight & not wanting to play even.
Glad to hear that Dechaine is getting action. Action is good.
By the way, I like Dechaine versus Bartrum if anyone wants to do something.

What do you mean?
They played and won a sey apiece, didn't they? Finishing even....
Or, am I missing something?
Thanks

My ifno must have been wrong. I was told Mitch said he lost 3 large. My bad.

I read in the DeChaine Vs Ellerman thread....Jay said "they broke even with a set apiece." That's all I know......no personal info here at all.
I didn't even know they played..

With a solid guy like you Lenny, I'll take anywhere from $0-$500 on Dechaine. Let me know.
I willl say it is surprising that Dechaine broke even with Ellerman. From what I hear, that should have been a hijacking. Ellerman might have increased his game.

They broke even the first time. They are supposed to play again tonight. This is per Mitch's dad.

I am not surprised. Mitch plays great and has been for a while now. He has 4 different state titles right now plus he won the US bartable 8ball Championship double dipping Jose Parica and Parica was up hill-3 in both sets.

Mitch and I are going to play sometime in the near future. I couldn't play him because he had to work and I have to make it to Kansas. The set will happen though.

That will be a good one between Bartram and Mike, Last time I saw Chris play it looked like he was playing pretty good, plus hes a grinder.

This was the first time I ever heard of this kid. I got to see a lot of games from him and I was quite impressed with the way he hung with the other players.
