I just watched Johnny run 150 and out against Carter on an old video. I thought that Johnny had run 150 and out and then ran over 200 when the crowd wanted him to continue. He shoots the 150th ball on this tape without setting up a break shot, and then the ref moves the balls and that's it folks...

Did he run the 200+ at a separate time, or did he set up the last shot and play shape for a break shot and continue?

Thanks to anyone who knows.
 
Johnny's 200 (unfinished) was done at a tournament in Cleveland back in the 1990s. I forget exactly when - and I don't remember the event name. Perhaps Terry Ardeno would know. At that event there were "Danny Vegh's" banners all over the room - if that is in that video, then it is from the same event. I forget who Johnny ran the 150 (and eventual 200) against. I believe that Bill Staton and Pat Fleming did the commentary for most of those matches as well. Somewhere there is some snippets of video from a match between Mizerak & Butera from the same tournament.
 
Hi Blackjack,

Johnny played Nick Varner in the finals. After the opening break, several safeties were played. Nick was at minus two. Played a poor safe. Johnny ran out to 150. With the crowds encouragement, he continued to two zero two. I'm pretty sure I refereed the finals. I believe Frank Zumo of Frank's Billiards was the promoter. Held at the downtown Holiday Inn. The complete event was 9 Ball, Ten Ball and 14.1.
