We headed on down around lunch time and the place was jammed! but not to the point of being a PITA. We watched the 1:30 Pro matches and they played GREAT. We sat right in front of the Shane v Mika table. I was impressed with Shaun Wilkes play. He had Louis Ulrich in trouble most of the match, but Louis got some of the worst rolls I've seen!
Then we caught up with Ray (Raybo147 on AZB) and we headed over to the OB-1 booth to chat with John Schmidt. John had Ray hitting some stroke shots for an hour or so, and we were also talking about Snooker......Ray is a World class Snooker player when He has time to practice. It sounds like John is giving some consideration to trying Snooker tournament. I think he just had a few misconceptions about how high the bar is to qualify and compete here in the States. No doubt if John wants to play Snooker, he will hit the top flight with some practice against other great players.....John is a super nice guy to hang with but you have to watch he doesn't try to steal your wife!!!
Then it was off to watch our friends in the amateur event, and the Pro barbox event....oh yea, and to have a few more beers Our bud Adam played a great match but lost to Dennis Hatch on the barbox.
We bumped into a bunch of old friends along the way, and then it got late. Then it was time to head home cause I was tired! Of course we had to stop for pizza and Lotto tickets on the way home......sorry Ray, no luck I guess we have to go to work on Monday!
