Six left, Who will face Mike?
- Thread starter Tom In Cincy
- Start date
Manalo will face Mike.
Book it.
He will go 4-1 and only lose to Django although it wouldn't surprise me if he went undefeated

Manalo and Busti are verryy hotttt.... but I have to agree... when the dust settles, it's gonna be Reyes..... it's a lotta money.... Reyes will not let it go away.....
it's still round robin right?

Yes, the final six players will play each other in the Round Robin Format.
The player with the best win-loss record will face Mike Sigel for the King of the Hill and $200,00 1st place prize
A tie will be broken by the GLI number
Busta lost a bit of form in his second last match. Seems the long days wore him down a bit. He'll probably come back refreshed tomorrow.
Efren seemed to be getting the hang of the table better as he played more. I think he may be vulnerable in the early rounds tomorrow. If he wins his first couple, he'll be dangerous. But with his break looking a bit soft, he could get a match of dry breaks and sell out.
Marlon's break is working well...I think he is favorite.

Any of the 6 can take it an any given time.
Look at it this way: who would you bet *against*? Archer? Busta? Manalo? Reyes? Varner? Immonen? I'd be hard pressed to pick a single name from that field.

I agree that Manalo looks like the favorite at this point, followed by Bustamante, Immonen, and Archer. Then there's Reyes, and we all know that he's capable of winning it.
I for one would love to see Varner make it though--wouldn't it be amazing to see Varner and Sigel back at the top of professional pool playing in the final for the biggest prize ever?

!! , I'd have to say Manalo, who was gracious enough to tell me how his name is pronounced.
Sorry to interupt....

Isn't Efren undefeated in tournaments with prize money over 100k? He's at least 2-0, possibly 3-0. Manalo is hot...but I still think Reyes always finds a way to take home the big cheese.
However...i'm not counting Django out. Sure he hasn't won a "major" in pool, but he might just be saving his best stuff to dominate the IPT.

I like Efren or Archer. Mika and Busty can lose their focus ... Nick probably doesn't have the firepower ... Manalo, maybe, but he hasn't been there yet.
