In other action Thursday evening, George Ashby jumped to a 10 to 0 lead in 3 innings but Miguel Torres stormed back with runs of 10 and 11, notching a 35 to 20 win in 19 innings Pedro Piedrabuena posted the best game, closing out Mercedes Gonzales in 18 innings. As play ended Thursday, Piedrabuena, Hugo Patino, Sonny Cho and Miguel Torre remained undefeated.
In first round action Friday morning, Hugo Patino put his undefeated record on the line as he lagged for the break against Mercedes Gonzales. She won the right to open the game, and she started with a 3, then followed it up with another 3, then a 4. She raced to a 20 to 4 lead, and then built it to 25 to 8. A long time out called by Hugo cooled Mercedes off, and he started making billiards in twos and threes. The audience wondered whether she could finish without being caught. She couldn’t. Hugo caught her at 31, notched another in the next inning and closed with a run of 3 for a 35 to 31 victory.
Mercedes has played well, averaging .796 but had nothing to show for it except five losses. After a bad first day, Jae Cho staged a comeback with a morning victory over George Ashby. In the next session, he ran 4 and out to best Mazin Shooni 35 to 30. He closed the day with a 35 to 20 victory over Mercedes, sealing the W with a run of 7 and out.
After a fine victory over Jae Cho during the first day, Bill Smith was not able to continue the success, with losses to Hugo and Mazin. He rebounded with a victory over Frank Torres, who has shown great skills at times but has been inconsistent. Ashby finally found his aim in his last game of the day, defeating Sonny Cho in 20 innings.
As Friday ended, Pedro, Hugo and Miguel had still not tasted defeat. They will clash on Saturday. One loss behind is Sonny Cho. Mazin and Michael Kang have three losses each. All the other players have at least four losses. The overall grand average at the close of the last session was 1.096, with Pedro’s 1.423 and Hugo’s 1.411 setting the standard for all others.

"MERCEDES PLAYS 1.500 BILLIARDS [that is my cue she is using by the way] and LOOSES to HUGO after he sharks her with a 25 minute bathroom break in the middle of the match. MG has HP 26-9 in 13 innings until he had to run to the john and puke. It apperently worked as HP ended up winning 35-31 in 23 innings. A wonderful match to watch"
