It ended early this morning. When I left around 2 a.m., I had just been knocked out by Bob Cozzolino and Tom Karabotsos was taking a nap in his car after taking the winner's side. Ron Shepard was playing Randy Almeida. I don't know which of them won but whoever it was, was beaten by Cozzolino who was then beaten by Sergio Perez.
Sergio and Tom cut up first and second prize, probably late.
Cozzolino beat Bobby Hunter in the first round. I eventually played Bobby and was up 97-51 when he ran 41 on me and jawed a ball with 4 on the table. All he needed was a break shot and a few more. When his ball jawed, I was able to clean up for the win. It was neat to have beaten him, but he was a bit tired. I heard he had been up late working. Early on a lot of balls rattled on him, then he concentrated and had that run.
Coz then had me 70 to 34 when I ran 34 on him and missed a shot that I guess I could not quite see, cuz I nicked a ball trying to get to it. He cleaned up that rack, got a break shot and that was about it for me. I think he beat me 100-71.
When I had left, Karabotsos had the high run of 56, Coz had a 48 and Sergio Perez had a couple of 40+ runs. I don't know if there were any higher runs later.
