Yep, the kid's got to learn if he wants to focus on the money matches or the tournament matches. It's very hard to do both well, as other players will attest. Having played two world class players in two long races between his first round and second round tournament matches likely took it's toll.Those action room matches can be tournament killers.

I'm sure he was super hyped up after beating Jayson Shaw, and then coming from behind to beat DeLuna in the race to 25 challenge match the same day/night. Taking on another challenge match against Alcano in a long race before his second round match was probably not too smart. I wonder who his handler is? This is a 9 day marathon - you've got to pace yourself!
Any updates?
Did he beat ALCANO?
Tied 7-7.....
he did not.
Score indicated a decent battle, but reports indicated poor-ish efforts by both.
Shane scratches on the 8 while running out to try to tie the match at 10-10. Mike takes BIH and makes an easy two ball runout to win 11-9.
Mike seems to be taking on some Earl characteristics.
Pretty ugly by both players the last few games.
