At this point, I'm not sure we will be up and running until 11:00am / PST.

Still waiting for the venue to open at the arranged time.

Ricardo played suprisingly well. He bested Pedro 30 to 17, and held a closed against Luis Avila until the end.

Actually....it doesn't surprise me. Ricardo is a good player. Under-estimated by a lot of players. Like to see him break out and win a big event! :smile:

I'm a big Ricky Carranco fan now! It's really nice to see him play great players and hold up to them. I agree that he is underestimated, but I have seen an improvement as of late... Although he mentioned to me that during the Million Dollar Billiards event last summer, he played horribly because he was so busy running the tournament.

Trust me, I know what it's like to have your hands full, which is why I rarely compete when I'm streaming anymore...

I should have the matches uploaded to YouTube very soon. Please subscribe to my channel for automatic updates...
