SHANE!!!!!
Anywhere to get a list of players?
I dont know them all but I wouldn't buy Jesse no matter what. This should
be an elite field. Just because the table is smaller doesnt mean that the big name guys CANT play on them.
I think Orcullo, Buddy and SVB are my choices until I see a complete list.
Hillbilly's break could come into play as well with it being 10 ball.
For some reason I just think Buddy will do well in this event.

I would not count out the old rifleman in this style of event.
I just have to pick Jesse to earn more than his share of the cash.

18 players: 15 Americans and 3 Filipinos. Interesting field and format.
With 10-ball, bar box, it will be a whole different ball game when compared to 9-ball. I believe most, if not all, of the names on that list are capable of winning. It's a tough pick.
If I were a betting woman, though, I think I'd go with Dave Matlock. He's familiar with this equipment, being that it's his hometown pool room, so that does give him a slight edge, in a way. AND everybody knows that Dave Matlock is a bar table phenom. So he's got two feathers in his cap!
My heart, though, goes out to Buddy Hall. After all these years, he's still in this industry, giving it his all, and I cannot think of a more deserving winner.
Oh, well, may the best player win. I can't wait to read all about it!

I'm certain that many of Buddy's fans from Central Florida will be pulling for him, including me. The problem is that Buddy's once powerful break has deserted him in 9 ball and 10 ball. It seems that he also has a stamina problem lately. While I've bought Buddy a few times in the calcuttas, I'm leaning towards Corey Deuel and Dennis Orcullo. Of course the bartables may make a big difference here and Buddy is still a great run out artist....

Good Luck Quad Cities
He may be a dark horse in most peoples eyes but Chad Vilmont has won I believe the last 3 tournaments he has entered and Jessie is 1 of the best shot makers on the planet which in my opinion is of great use in a ring game format and Jamie Baraks is one of the most intense players I have ever played. Sorry but gotta stick with my home town players.

ron is right. vilmont won the olathe event 3 weeks ago. jesse is looking like he did 3 years ago. which means everybody should be scared and baraks has never lost a ring game tourney as he won both of the mobile al. ring game events.
i have said it before but the quad cities has per capita the best talent in the country.
2 pro tour rookie of the years + jesse and vilmont and dont forget jesse's brother. he is a champ too
