I thought you had to call all shots in 10 ball?

 

[jay helfert]

Mika beat Dennis O. 11-7.

Mika beat Dennis O. 11-7.

Didn't think Shaw and D.O. would both go down the first round!

 

[Cuebuddy]

Mika is and has been a force for many years. Like him or hate him the man can play. If I were betting my money would have been on Dennis.

Looks like they use basically 9b rules.

 

[pwd72s]

Mika beat Dennis O. 11-7.

Anybody else consider that an upset of sorts?

I bet Dennis and gave 2 games on the wire, so yes, I consider it an upset.

Mika won 2 US Opens in a row not that long ago and was the first one to do that. I agree that DO was the favorite but when Mika is on...............

Nick Varner was the first to win 2 U.S. Opens (9-ball) in a row.

 

[Brookeland Bill]

He knew what those jubilant crowds did not know, but could have learned from books; that the plague bacillus never dies or disappears for good...and that perhaps the day would come when, for the bane and the enlightening of men, it would rouse up its rats again and send them forth to die in a happy city."

So you read Camus...very good...an existentialist with a pool cue...a rarity...

Ah Thanks- I knew that at one time but not lately. However you must admit the tourny was much smaller when Nick won it.

A little but not surprise at all cause Mika is a champion

HUH?????? Look at the fields back then. Efren, Buddy, Sigel you name 'em they played. You're trying to say NV won two in a row 'cause the fields were smaller??? Put the pipe down before it burns your lips.

 

[Lonestar_jim]

Score on bigfoot match in progress ? DeLuna match, thx.

 

[benny-the-blade]

DeLuna wins 11-7.

The Lion trailing Gorst 6-4.

 

[Cuebuddy]

Gorst is playing like Dažbog. The Lion is battling but the rolls are not kind to him.

I think you need to put the pipe down if you think the field was as strong then as it is now. You have many more international players making the trip to the US Open. Back in Nick’s day, he had to contend with one Filipino player. Maybe 2. Now, you have to get through the best the world has to offer.

And it's not even close .
Nick did not get to the finals after Efren beat him in '94.


When SVB won his last US Open, he had to beat SEVERAL world champions and ex-US Open champions in the last two days. Euros and Asians. And had to beat Dennis in the finals. Dennis shot over .900 and lost .

 

[Colormegone2002]

Did Corey win his match?

 

[Tooler]

Did Corey win his match?

Nope...lost 11-10 after leading 9-5 and shooting in the low to mid 900's.....total meltdown
