It was 5 years ago we met. I've seen championships won and some slip away. Have been inspired by you and have had fights with you. Found myself one christmas on an island with you and learned what really matters in life and in friendship.You have pushed me to stay strong with the life I chose and always left the door of opportunity's cracked behind you for me to walk through because you believe in me. It was 10 years ago you won your first World Championship and not many know before it,was a make or break situation in your life whether you would keep playing or work a 9-5 like most. Now as I write this I'm a 100 feet away from you watching you in position to win your Second World 9 Ball Championship and it inspires me even more to stay on track! I never thought I could pull for someone so much! But you learn that through true friendship. Thank you Thorsten Hohmann. Proud of you Bro! And yes ladys and gents its 6-6 at the moment and im calling it a 13-9 end.
Just Saying strait from the gut department!

It must be pretty cool to have a guy like Hunter in your corner. There must be something to that Lombardo name.
