Reyes over Immonen 200 - 89. (The official scorer had Mika at 86; I had it slightly different.)
Efren had runs of 59, 45, 39, and 31. Mika's high run was 42. Mika's first nine innings were the worst stretch I've ever seen him play in a 14.1 game. Mika's eleven innings went as follows:

1. missed a multi-ball combo out of the pack (misread it) off Reyes' opening safety
2. ran 3 balls then slow-rolled an easy shot that didn't reach the pocket
3. made 1 and missed
4. made 1 and missed badly (and scratched)
5. played a poor safety
6. played safe
7. ran 3 and missed an easy shot from fairly close range
8. ran 14 and missed a real thin cut on the 8-ball
9. made 1 and missed a fairly easy, short combination
10. ran 25 but bumped into his break ball and had to play safe
11. ran 42 then missed the break shot

Thanks for posting all this detail. Even the greats are human.
If anything, this makes me appreciate Efren even more. Wouldn't it be incredible if he takes down a field consisting of a handful of straight pool specialists (e.g., Eckert, Schmidt, Hohmann)?
You are correct (except that it was Tuesday). I believe a message has already been sent to Charlie Williams to that effect.

Thank you for this synopsis! Mika doesn't have a good record against Efren (this goes way back), and it could be playing on him. When he's having a bad day (or just a bad match), it's often spectacularly bad.
Other than this very-lackluster performance against Efren, how has he otherwise been doing?

I only saw him on the stream for one other match -- yesterday against Dennis Spears -- and the game was half over when I tuned in. He had nothing more than a 31 in the second half of the game, but it didn't strike me that he was way off form.
In the round-robin portion, however, he lost to both of the other real good players in his group (Dechaine and Wilke), so maybe it has been a poor week for him all around.
That's true. I haven't seen him play much 14.1 at all, so for me it would be a treat.
This is why Efren is the best. He can play every game at the highest caliber.
Efren is up there with the greats for sure. In the only two 14.1 tournaments he'd ever played in -- the 1995 Maine Event and the 2000 US Open 14.1 -- Efren won, and placed third, respectively.
Would love to see him ramp-up his game after a so-so showing against Mika, and really hit the rafters with superior play.

still cannot pay!!!!!!!!!!!!

searched around and found the screen to pay for daily 14.1 stream.
it would not let me. message something like: promo code unknown,
of course I do not have a promo code.
guess I will guess I will just go work in the yard since I already took the day off from work to watch this.
This just means I will never even consider going to one of these events in person. I'll just have to be content to watch the old stuff on youtube.
sad,

I registered, And the first thing you had to do was to write in your e-mail, then they send you a code, which you use to activate the account. Then you choose a password, after that, you put in credit card information. Then if you have codes to make it cheaper use them, otherwise (like in my case) leave them blank.

Don't expect any help from iralee who started this tread on 7-29 and quit answering questions the next day. I ask on 7-31 if I could get the stream on my Apple IPad...3 days later and no response...thanks a bunch iralee.

Is the TV table played on an Olhauson?
I know DP is trying to raffle/sell the straming table - I am just curious.

There is a picture in one of the threads of the TV table and the other tables around it are Olhauson's too. Johnnyt
