Pedro lost a close match to Diaz and plays Forthomme at 5 AM PST tomorrow. If Pedro wins, he still has a chance. Hugo was humiliated by Choi and plays Sanchez tomorrow at 11 AM PST. Even if he wins, he has virtually no shot at advancing.
First let me say I'm a pool player. I had the chance to be there and it was my first 3C event I have ever seen live . It was absolutely amazing ! Every match I saw was absolutely thrilling from the beginning untill the end! I am very impressed with the professionalism and the mastering of these players. The atmospher was so great in the Arena.
Finally, in the ceremony suddenly they call The Maestro, in person, Raymond Ceulemans to give the medal to the winner! It was incredible! The legend was there ! I even was able to talk to him after the ceremony and have a picture with him... IT WAS GREAT !
