The FATBOY CHALLENGE TEN BALL

Game 7: Corteza breaks dry, but not a clean shot at 1. Upon careful selection, Souquet pushes out and Corteza hides the cue ball behind 2 and leaving 1 7 foot away. Souquest misses 2 rail kick and Corteza is gifted with a ball in hand. Quickly lines up 1/10 and leads 4-3.
 
Game 8: Another dry yet safe break...and Souquet pushes out again. Corteza makes a combo but hooks him self for leave. Now Ralf with ball in hand.. wow, I turned my head to order a beer and Corteza is back on the table running out! 5-3 Corteza.
 
Can you believe it? another dry break for Corteza, except Souquet has an open shot at one. 7 and 8 looks to be a problem, but in attempt to break it out after shooting the 4, Souquet only makes it nastier! 7 ball did give him problem and Corteza is back on the table with 4 balls... Another game to Corteza. 6-3 Corteza
 
Corteza is stunned, just starring at the table after he comes up with another dry break on game 10.

Souquet combos 1/6 and the 6 ball stops short at the pocket for 2 seconds and barely falls in. Tries to safe the 1, but it's clearly visible and makable. It's 2 ball that give him the trouble and Ralf is back on the table and looking determined to run out this time and he does.

6-4 Corteza
 
Corteza picks up game 12 leading 7-4 and makes a ball on the break and pumps his fists:) but misses 1 and lets Ralf on the table. It looks pretty much of connect the dots from this end.
 
Wow, Ralf misses pretty simple cut on 3 and gives up the table. Right now, I can count for only 1 break and run. I think they should be loose by now but then again, they are playing 1 race to $10,000.

Corteza runs out and score is 8-4 Corteza.
 
I am having a sweat bet with Django on this match, so this is actually one of the very few times I ain't rooting for a Filipino...

COME ON RALF!!!
 
Game 16: Corteza pockets 8 ball on the break and on the way to clear the rack but the 3 ball didn't let him. Ralf banks 3 and clips 10 which helped it into the pocket. 5 to 6 is a little tricky so Ralf is pacing around the table and comes to the short side for leave. With 6 gone 3 balls remainin to close out the game and he does:)

9-7 Corteza
 
Corteza looking pretty comfortable running out the next game and finishes early with carom from 5 to 10. Score is 10-7 Corteza.

You must mean "non-Filipino". Make plans to be here in Sptember, Roy. The contract is being signed as I write this for the World Cup of Pool to be held here in the Philippines on 01 Sept 2009.:)
 
Sorry, I keep loosing connection...

It's 12-9 Corteza and Ralf is on the table and shot a safety for 1. Cut ball is completely barried behind the 7 ball and Corteza kicks 2 rails and fails to make a contact. Ralf with a ball in hand carefully maps out the table for a run walking from this end to the next. Ralf starts with 1 ball and carefully runs out the rack, earning a clap or two. Came up funny on 6 and is facing an extreme cut to side and barely misses. Once again giving the table to Corteza with last few balls. This must be boosting Corteza tremendously...he runs out and the score is 13 to 9 Corteza.
 
Corteza pockets a ball on his break and is rewarded with an open shot to 1but ops for a safety. Overall look of table is nasty... 5/9 is tied up and so is 2/6. Ralf tries to thin the one but completely misses and giving Corteza ball in hand. Looks like Corteza tried to break the 2/6 with the cue ball in hand, but misses the break out and is forced to play another safe. Starring at an open 2 ball for few minutes, Ralf fires it into the pocket, but alas, gets the cue ball barried behind the problemetic 5/9 cluster. Ralf kick out with an extreme reverse to cut the angle and contacts with a safe result. 3 ball is now in open but 6 ball blocks it's pocket but Ralf caroms it with an ease!
 
Still wondering what Ralf would do wth 5/9 cluster... tried for a safety, but not this time... once again, corteza back on the table with last 4 balls to win the game. 14-9 Corteza.

Ralf looks calm but I can see a bit of fluster on his color and looking down on the floor.
