Goodbye Taiwan - Hello Korea!

Cheers guys, well guess what.....I DID IT! :-)

I beat Charlie Bryant 9:8 after getting a few roles at 8:6 down. That put me in the last 8. Then I thought I would be playing Hohman but he lost to a Korean 9:6. I went 4:1 up after losing the first and stayed in front throughout the match. At 8:7 up my opponent missed a crucial 6 ball down the rail and I ran the last 3 balls for the win and my first TV match tomorrow morning!! :eek:

The last 4 are...

Immonen v Japanese guy (sorry dont have brackets in room)
CHarlie Williams v Me!

So a chance to get my own back on CHarlie ;-)

Congrats, Craig !! Being in a televised match should be an experience ! Just don't let the cameras intimidate you and enjoy the show you're going to put up against Charlie ! :cool:

Edit: If you meet Mika in the finals, tell him Mikko said hi ! He should be surprised (again). :D

Good going Craig! Step out there and win, then you can tell Mike you want your own section in "Ask The Pros"!

It would take a very ballsy guy, to call himself "The One", if he wasn't in that league. Best of luck to you, Craig, against CW and then again in the finals.

congrats on the win and good luck..keep us posted!

Good Luck

Good luck Craig, may the stroke be with you!!!

BTW, Do you know what tv station their going to air the matches? I'm hoping that we can watch it over the internet.
 
Craig

What's going on on the Womens side?

Who is playing?

Is this the tournament Miyuki won last year?

How does Ga Young look? Any plumbers crack yet?

Thanks
 
Wow! Way to go Craig! Looks like it's time for the Big Payback from The One to the CW! I heard from a friend that you're quite the vicious competitor and the words seem to be true. I like that...
 
I second the motion that Craig should have his own "ask the pro" section, why not he seems to be beating them quite regularly. Good luck against Charlie the sky is the limit man.

Thanks Bendy
Vicous, me?! Who said that! :-)

Well unfortunately I just lost 7:3 to Charlie, it was an interesting experience playing in front of the cameras (6 no less!), TV lights and with a shot clock but a little dissapointed. I won the first 2 to go 2:0 up and then played a combo and sadly both balls dropped leaving me a tough 8 down the rail. I didn't make it but it looked like I had left it safe frozen to the rail about 6 inches from the pocket with the cue ball down table. Charlie made a great shot to cut it in rail first and this I feel changed the match. 3:0 at alternate break is tough to come back from alt break. From then on I didn't really get anything on the break and Charlie had a golden break and played better. I missed a few shots though and didnt derve to win overall. Mikka won 7:3 in the other semi and plays Charlie shortly.

Anyway, its party time tonight and then a few weeks in China to chill out.

Cheers

It was a white button-down blouse, black tie with pinstripes, and a modest black skirt! Nothing sexy about that :rolleyes: I wear it to work and my boss even loves it - she's all about some fashion, too.

BTW, I'm a small.

Awww, but hey! You made it to the TV rounds so that's just damn great! You deserve lots of hugs for that! Maybe when I see you at the U.S. Open? I don't know if I'm going to make it for the Big Apple Tourney this year.
 
Did it bother you ...

Playing the TV match with all the camera guys, lights, and stuff going on
while you were playing?
 
You still had an amazing tournament Craig, playing in front of the cameras must have been an incredible experience. Enjoy your time in China!
 
Craig, I'm proud of you. Did you get a tape of your TV match? Anyways, once again congratulations and hope to see you again in the States sometime. You're not coming for the Big Apple 9 Ball, are you?
 
Way to go Craig !! Finishing in the top 4 is extremely good, think about the players who finished behind you !

Looking forward seeing you in any of the Eurotour events ! ;)

Thanks, yes Euro tour would be good, thinking about weert but will have to see. Are you going to this one? I went out with Mikka, Mike Davis and a couple of the Korean guys last night and got totally wasted. I told him you said hi and he knew who you where even though I think I pronounced your name wrong!

Mikka was nice enough to buy a bottle of whisky in the hyatt disco which at US$300 was pretty cool! Just woke up at 16:30 and I may have said this before but I'm never drinking again!
:D
