I did......just barely. Played Bruce Choyce, 2003 US am Champion, in the finals. In a race to 11 playing 8 games of 8-ball and 13 games of 9-ball we started with eight ball and I didn't get out of my chair for the first three racks. I ended up down 3-5 after the 8 games of 8-ball. Then we started 9-ball...got a few rolls.....played a couple good safties....won the next 7 in a row. I'm on the hill - he needs six. I don't get to the table much as he wakes up and turn it on. At one point I did take a swipe at a 5-9 combo and just barely missed. Bruce played very well had a 9-ball break and the next thing I know it's hill-hill. He breaks and leaves the 9 in the jaws and the 2-ball at that end of the table. Makes the one but comes up short for the combo so is forced to play a carom. Takes a big swipe at it and rattles it. I get to the table and play safe until I got a table I liked and ran 'em out.
It was a really fun day and to have the honor to play a Champion like Bruce, who by the way is not only a Champion on the table but a hell of a nice guy, I couldn't have asked for anything more.
SEE YA IN TAMPA!!!!!
