Larry and Shannon faced off about an hour ago- I know I am getting slack. There match was very humorous- you could tell both had been playing all day. Shannon played bad and Larry played worse. After all of the mis-cues, scratches, amd missed balls - it really became funny b/c both players wanted to win so bad to have their chance at Iron Mike. In the end it became a double hill match with Larry again advancing to the finals.

The true double elimination finals is a very hard accomplishment for Larry. In the first set, he showed Mike that he will fight for the victory and yet another set of trophies. Larry beat him by a score of 9-7 and the 2nd set is underway. The score is 6-5 with Larry steadily running out on the 9 ft. Diamond. Stay tuned.................................

Down to the nitty gritty....... double hill for all of the cash!!! Davis breaking.... makes nothing!:eek: Safety play exchanged by both players...WOW Larry has him buried......................... Wait and see what happens- I will keep you all in suspense- look on AZ tomorrow to see who won!!:p

In the final game of the second set, at hill to hill, it appeared to be curtains for Nevel as Davis took a very makeable shot on a one-nine combination. Davis missed the combination and Larry went on to take that game for the tournament win.
