There's a kid that not everyone recognize's but he was in action almost every night and when he wasn't in action, he was looking for it....Brandon Shuff. He also posts here on AZB. He's a regular on the Tiger Planet Pool tour and a young gun out of the VA/DC area. His game has really come along the last yr or so and I was happy to see him betting it up at the Derby. LOL, the only time I saw him NOT happy was when he couldn't find a game. Even if I didn't grab a seat & sweat the action every night, I at least checked in every night to see who was playing. Cliff and Brandon... one or the other seemed to always be in there.
On a side note.... for you TX folks... it sure was good to see Joey Barnes out of Arlington, TX betting it up. It's been a long, long time since I've seen Joey and it took me a few min to recognize him. LOL, I think the only reason he knew me was because I was wearing a baseball hat which is what I used to always wear when I lived in TX.
