I'll bet it wasn't McCready/ SLivka that held things up...!
It looks like the finals brackets have been updated to some degree..
Santos remains undefeated, and will be in the final match..
It looks like he'll face the winner of the Putnam/Archer match

Wow, what a tournament! We just got home.
There were so many FANTASTIC matches, but the one in particular that stands out in my mind was between Jeanette Lee and Jerry Slivka. It was so tense. Jerry had Jeanette stuck pretty good at the beginning, but then a missed 4-ball by Jerry, a 9 on the break by Jeanette, and before you knew it, it was hill-hill. The last game had everybody in the joint sitting on pins and needles.
The finals between Santos and Johnny didn't end until after midnight. More on that later.
As soon as I download my pictures, I'll post 'em up along with some more eyewitness reports. It sure does feel good to be home typing on my own keyboard.
There were some unbelievable moments during the event, excitement, highs and lows, tempers rising to a fever pitch, and a few tears.

The world is so small!!! I am in a hay field in the middle of the grizzlies with one traffic light in the county seat and 2500 miles away from NY but Friday I sent a custom cue back east and was told all about the possible McCready/Matushoneck match and a little about Eddie (very good player who is returning to playing since his kids are college age). Turns out my customer is a realtor/friend of Matushoneck and was traveling to the tournament just to see Matushonick and this possible match. I don't build a lot of cues so it I thought it was funny/odd that this custom cue I just sent was built with the same woods used for Keith's cue and Matushoneck has asked to see the cue when my customer receives it.

Hey, Jack, you're right in that it truly is a small world. As I seated myself alongside Keith's designated table as he was practicing for his pending match with Matushoneck, I was seated next to a young lady named Mary. She was friends with Matushoneck and was seated up front and close, wanting to sweat his match with Keith.
We got to chatting, and she told me that the very day before she came to Turning Stone, she got the word that her Madden cue was en route to her, and she was quite excited about getting it. She knew that Keith was shooting with a Madden too. She said she can't wait to get her hands on hers.
BTW, each tournament Keith shoots with his Madden, he said he is feeling his game get stronger. He absolutely loves his custom-made Madden cue stick and wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China. I am happy too to see Keith finally get to play with a cue stick that responds to all of his englishes as well as perform the way he likes it to. Hope all is well with you and Bev!
