Watched Louis play yesterday for the first time ever. I was amazed at how poised, patient and consistent he was. He LOOKS like a champion in all respects. If he keeps up this pace, he's gonna be real tough for anyone to beat. Thanks for the updates.
 
Rack 7: Solid break with a ball in a hole. No pocket for the 1 ball. Louis plays safety by freezing the cue ball behind the 5. Foul committed by Ernesto, but in process an undesired cluster was created making the layout very tough. Louis struggles to dodge the cluster, but no way to run out. Louis sets another freezer and Ernesto asks for a break.

While we wait here are some other updates.

Shawn Putnam 5, Brandon Shuff 2
Chris Bartrum 4, Donnie Mills 2
Tyler Eddie 3, Thorsten Hohlman 2
Rob Saez 4, Lee Holt 3

Holy cow - turning into a steamroll.
 
Rack 9: Good break but 1 ball is on the end rail... safety. Ernesto's second chance at a open ball in 9 games is ugly:( . Goes for it, misses and gives the table back to Louis. On the 5 ball Louis goes for the 2 way shot. Misses the 5 -What? yeah, Louis missed a ball! but left another ugly shot forcing Ernesto to scratch after pocketing the 5 ball. Louis runs out with a ball in hand. 9-0 Louis
 
Hey Sunny - after all this time - isn't this like a dream come true?

I guess that littel trip to Louis took to Kentucky was worth its weight in gold!
 
Rack 10: Good break but forced to play safety on the 1 ball. Ernesto jumps and pockets 1 but Louis gets back on the table when Ernesto missed the 4. Louis then hangs up the 7. Ernesto misses the 8 and leaves it on the bottom rail. Louis drifts 8 behind the 9 and left a very hard thin cut, which was not pocketed. Louis pockets 8 and 9.
10-0 Louis
