The Atencio match:
Lechner match?
Thorpe, taking down the Chang. Nice match.
Wow, Billy Thorpe put on a great show to beat JL Chang.
At 5-4 ahead, he kicked in the two and ran out, and at 6-5 ahead, he navigated a super-tough runout masterfully to reach the hill.
JL Chang's remarkable long bank of the one ball in rack 13 kept him in the match, pulling him within 7-6. Billy misfired on a fairly routine kick safe at 7-6, enabling Chang to reach double hill, but at double hill, Billy broke wet and made a super-tough shot on the one to set up the winning runout. He had to negotiate a bank shot on the four, but then again, Billy is a Derby City bank pool champion.
This is the Billy Thorpe I'd like to see at the Mosconi Cup! Well played.

Ditto. A great start for America's best. Don't stop now, guys.
Wish they would show the 9am round tomorrow. Ain't gonna happen.
There might be an American World Champion... knock on wood. When was the last one? Strickland?
Yes, it was Earl in the 2002 World 9-ball Championships in Cardiff, Wales.

SVB won this event in 2007.
that was sleazy Charlie's event here in Jax at Bankshot. They tried throwing me out for not paying for a seat. LMAO
That event had “World” in the title but it was not a WPA World Championship.
LOL, obviously not a world championship --- just a Charlie Williams event masquerading as a world championship. Earl was America's last world champion, beating Bustamante in the final of the 2002 WPA World 9-ball Championship.
