I'm getting ready to head downstairs for Keith's 2:00 p.m. match. His opponent is a tough player, as I have been told, and could be the dark horse of this tournament.
I was hoping to see some pictures on the Main Page. The photographer named "Mitch" has been snapping pics left and right. He has a very fancy camera with an incredible zoom capability. So the pictures will be of excellent quality.
Right now, Shawn "Get Some" Wilkie is stuck 4 to 2, but he's hanging on. Mike Davis, Jerry Slivka, and another player (can't remember) were several minutes late for their 10:00 a.m. matches, but they eventually did show up. I was worried that they would have been forfeited.
I just had me a triple-shot cappie at one of the many coffee shops here at the Turning Stone. We got comped for a meal at an Italian steak house here and will be dining in style tonight, hopefully. If Keith can maintain his place on the winners' side of the charts, then we will be afforded some time to enjoy the casino games. However, if he goes down, ends up on the B side of the chart, then he'll most likely have to play more matches.
The match between Shawn Putnam and Marlon Manalo was tension-filled and very exciting. Shawn played flawlessly, and his break was definitely working, which is a hard feat on the Joss Tour having to break from the box. Also, no jump cues are allowed, but you can jump a ball with your shooting cue.
Johnny Archer looks like a prince. He's always dressed in a button-down shirt, much like the IPT dress code. He's the epitome of professionalism. I admire him very much because he always takes time to speak to the fans and spectators between matches, getting his picture taken, signing autographs. Every time we run into him, he's always very supportive of Keith as a pool player, complimenting him on his style of play. Johnny Archer may be the horse to beat in this race at the Turning Stone at this juncture. If Keith wins his next round, he most likely will face the Scorpion. I just hope Keith brings his A game with him because he is going to need it. Johnny's break is unreal, making 2 and 3 balls on the snap. He's tough as nails on a field of green, especially just coming off that Challenge of Champions pocketing 50 large ones. Johnny is the first American to have won that event in 12 years. He may have been THE player of the '90s, but Johnny is still strong as ever.
Last night, we turned in fairly early at midnight, and I slept like a baby. Wow, sleep is a wonderful thing.
There's a spectator here who traveled from Ohio, pulling for Dee Adkins. He said this is one of the BEST tournaments he's ever been to and plans on coming back. There are two more Joss tournaments which are planned to take place here at the Turning Stone, but they haven't been set in stone yet for the dates.
I got some great pictures too and will post 'em up when I get back home to D.C., most likely on Monday.

Keith's next opponent, Eddie Matuschoneck is very, very strong. He owns a poolroom in Hazleton, PA, and even though he's probably in his late 50s now and well past his prime, he's beaten both John Schmidt and Alex Pagulayan for the cash playing even up 9-ball in his poolroom.
Ralf Souquet out........
A young man named Adam Smith just defeated Ralf in the 10AM round..
It was a tough match..very close..
There are some great matches in the 2PM round.

I'm on cloud nine, with Keith defeating Eddie Matushoneck, 9 to 6. The match started out a little rocky for the Earthquake, with Eddie coming out 2 games ahead from jump street. I chatted with Eddie before their match and found out he's 56 years old and has been playing pool for quite some time. He has competed in the U.S. Open and many other high-profile events and can get there. Keith made some fantastic shots, but he was jumping straight up like a jack rabbit, making me bite my nails. The case game for Keith, Matushoneck was shooting on the 9-ball and missed, leaving it hanging in the jaws of the corner pocket, which gave Keith the almighty win. Eddie is still in this tournament, though, and will start competing on the B side of the charts.
Meanwhile, Karen Corr jumped out ahead of Shawn Putnam, 2 to nothing, but Shawn never gave up and kept fighting back. The two of them are putting on an excellent performance. Make no mistake about it, Karen is STRONG in this venue. Both of them are feature poster players in this event, and the crowd is watching them very closely. Shawn was a little ahead of Karen when I left the tournament room.
Johnny Archer is battling it out with a kid named Cutler, whom I don't know. When we left, it was Cutler 4, Johnny 2. Keith plays the winner of this match.
Jeanette Lee is up a few games on Richard Broumpton, both on the winners' side. Jerry Slivka plays the loser of this match.
That's about it for now. Keith plays again at 8:00 p.m. We may go downstairs to the poker room and check out Tony Ruberto who is playing in a poker tournament, the winner receiving $500,000-plus.

Adam Smith..good young player

The telephoto lens on the camera compresses distance. The sleeve probably didn't touch the ball. You can't really tell from this picture.sniper said:Anybody else notice the shirt foul in one of those pictures
Also, I am pretty sure they are playing cue ball fouls only.
any one know the results of the earthquake/scorpion match?
