Ok, I have to add a little story from the DCC.
I had just finished watching a one-pocket match where JoeyA beat the hell out of a fellow AZ'er, with the score being 24 to -3, and when we were about to leave I noticed that our friend "poolandpokerman" was playing on a table nearby.
I told Joey that I would catch up with him later and watch the rest of that match. "poolandpokerman" came up with some strong moves and great shots, and at the score 1-2 he came up with a beautiful bankshot to close the gap and make it hill-hill. In the last game he had two shots caused by temporarily brain-damage, but his opponent couldn't find a way to win, and some more great shots from "poolandpokerman" seized the win.
It was a well played match against a strong opponent, and when I walked over to him and "his crew" (I've forgotten their names now), they were so happy.
Tom got his big reward, and finally got a chance to meet a top player in the next round. The day after he got to play John Brumback, so he was the happiest man in the Horseshoe that night, that's for sure!!!
The very next day I was warming up for my match, and Brumback came over to my table and we started to talk. For those of you who read my reports last year might remember my match with him last year, and after we had talked for some time he mentioned that something similar almost happened this morning. His opponent "poolandpokerman" had forgot to move his ball from the tray, so when John had ran 7 balls he thought he was finished because there were 8 balls there, and he was about to rack, but "poolandpokerman" told him that he had 1 of them, and John agreed and they continued to play with John winning that game.
John was so happy that it ended well, and he finished off by saying that his opponent played some great shots and played very well. So even Brumback was impressed by your shots and moves, poolandpokerman!!! I need 8-4 next year
I sweated the semifinal of the bankpool-division together with "poolandpokerman" and his crew, and when Larry Nevel was up 2-1 in games and 3-2 in ball count, at an "open" table, I told them that I would bet on Efren from here. Even. We bet a total of $ 15, and "poolandpokerman" told me that I would win, because he always lost his bets.
First thing to happen was that Larry missed a routine-bank, and from there on he didn't pocket another ball, and Efren made a comeback to win that match.
When I was walking back to my room to take a shower, I met Efren in the hallway. He stopped me and said I was walking in the wrong direction and had to see the final, and I told him that I was gonna do that, but I needed a shower.
I then told him about the bet I had made, and he laughed and said thank you. I then told him that since he had worked so hard for the $ 15 I just won, he deserved a jelly, so I gave him $ 5 and he accepted and laughed even more
Always fun being around Efren
