Thanks for posting that! I was at that matchup last night -- SVB was breaking dry last night, too -- but wilkie broke great -- sunk three on a few occassions.

THANKS for the rack-by-rack summary -- right as it wraps up -- that is awesome. Rep to you!

the notes i was taking on my phone do the match NO justice.....wilkie was out in front 3-1 and looked to be on his way to winning in VF as he so badly wants. Then things just took a turn for the worse. Both players missed key shots, and they both had 9 ball breaks within 4 racks of each other I believe....it made for a great response from the crowd. The two biggest missed shots that got alot of crowd reaction was i belive in game 1 when sbv was running out and just flat jawed a 9 ball in the corner. :eek: only to have wilkie give him the same exact shot back about 10 racks latter!!!

Overall I think attendance was down this year, the action pit was far from action. It was rumored that the cops would be in there in plain clothes loking for the gamblers and making arrests...I ran into a few guys on here, Purdman, JCIN, the PoolTees guy, and a few others and I must say all down to earth peope. I was really interested in running into John Barton and discussing a case but for the life of me couldnt remember what booth he was going to be with. The guys at OB1 were great and answered all my questions, but I cant seem to bring myself to spend 185 for a shaft just yet being that Im not a great player (only a 5 in TAP and APA).

Got to meet up with some old friends from back home in Johnstown, PA and even got to see an old friend that plays for the NY Jets!! I think they suckered him at the night club though as they charged him $90 dollars for 2 shot of patron and 2 shots of goldslogger!!! :eek:

I know that the expo for me just didnt feel the same without the VIP party with Jeeves, I miss the mingling of the big wigs and the little guys...I will have some pics and videos up soon...my camcorder died about 70 mins into the final match with svb and wilkie and I couldnt get the lady in front of me to slide left or right (her head is right in the shot). oh well
