Dr. Jonni Fulcher just squeaked by Kenny Kwok of Hong Kong to move into the final 32 here in Manila. The match lasted over 3 hours. Fulcher was down 8-7 and got super lucky when Kwok missed an easy 7 ball. then in the next rack, Fulcher broke dry and left an open table, but Kwok choked again on the five ball. Jonni cleaned it up and let out a big shout when the final ten ball dropped.
He's getting a bit of a following here. not only is he one of the nicest and funniest guys in the tournament, but the word is out that he's a leading scientist in his other life. His only problem is that the Collider project in Geneva is going mental at the moment so his colleagues are going to be looking for him. Don't tell them!
By the way, Dr. Jonni plays Nick Van denberg tomorrow in the round of 32
Here's the link to the feature I wrote about him the other day. I must look like a prophet about now...
