Florida Pro Tour

Yes it was the same George Torres. He was running a setup to tape the finals. It was a rolling tripod that had a high end looking video camera. George was moving around the table and getting close in shots facing the player without sharking the players. He moved into position and was basically motionless taping the shot.

I wish I could say the same about the spectators. Two different instances both players missed rather easy shots and to me it looked like they got sharked by the audience. One time a fellow was laughing with a buddy about something ringside to the table and Stevie missed a routine shot, the other time a 2 year old boy was moving near the table, like 8 ft away from Bilbrey when he was shooting a 3 ft straight in shot.

Great job, Uwate, I appreciate your updates! :D
 
Some more notes from this weekend:

Word is that Tony Chohan and Wiseman have been playing Victor the room owner up in West Palm. Apparently, Chohan beat Vic for 4 large and Wiseman won ten bags of sand, at one point having Vic stuck 18 bags of sand.

Laderia may have surprised some but the locals here in South Florida know James plays jamup. Corey especially seems to have a problem with James as Laderia has beaten Corey the last few times they have played.
