Man the way Jayson gets out is crazy. Every shot I feel uncomfortable, he just keeps firing them in. I could watch these two all day.
I can't find that match, although I enjoyed watching Hunter Lombard's match. Is there another link?
Okay, found the link in Kickin` Chicken's thread:
Even though it is just a black square, click on the text "Watch on Facebook". The match start's at 46:35.

Thanks for giving the spectators a bunch of great matches. We haven’t met, but I followed your progress on Saturday while I was there, and you are another of my new favorites.
Good job Demetrius!
Awesome! Thank you Rick!
There were definitely some dramatic finishes. I had a 9-8 win that involved maybe the greatest kick shot I've ever made. Then last night I had a squeaker with that guy from Kuwait, Bader. I was down 7-6 and came with a great shot to tie it, then at 7-7 I made the 9 ball combo of my career to go on the hill. He blundered the next game and I won 9-7, but I put some heat on him too so I'll take it. But yeah, definitely some excitement.
My match with Earl was fine. I blundered hard at 6-4, if I go 5-6 and breaking it's a close set. Instead he wins and runs away with it after that. But I played super solid to get to 4-6 so I can't be too hard on myself. The biggest issue was I got hooked off 3 of my wet breaks and scratched on two others. That cut break is very volatile. I ran 2-3 racks off my break all of my other matches, the match with Earl it just didn't roll my way. So while I blundered, I had been facing an uphill grind all set. Oh, and he's playing a great tournament too. He's very calm and collected and playing the best I've seen him play for a while, so I'm not acting like I have to dog it to lose it to him. I'm hoping he finishes strong.
Anyway, time to go back to MN. I have a student coming in W-F, then next week I head down to the Derby. That will be my last tournament for a while so I have to enjoy them when I can.
Next time introduce yourself! I love meeting AZers!
The breaks where there is no decent shot after the break are almost catastrophic at that level. Your play seemed to click up a notch every round and you capitalized on opportunities often. Some really well hit safeties from you too.
And next time I will stop and talk. Thanks for that.
