Thursday 2013 U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship Thread

Keith Bennett is a monster! I saw him at the Super Billiards Expo 2 years ago gambling with Shane and John Morra. If memory serves, he beat Morra on the bar table playing even. Bennett was out from *everywhere*, and had the demeanor of a killer (but actually had the look of a nice guy if that makes any sense). It would be cool to see this mostly unknown go far!

KMRUNOUT

We know the "other" Keith well. Played him at Carolinas Open on the bar box for a nickel. My Keith came out on top this time. :)

We like Keith. He's good pool peeps! :cool:

Keith Bennett, Bobby Pickle, and Keith McCready

Speaking of Keith, he's up 8 to 4 now.

Darren crawling back to 4 against my Oliver at 5.

Go Bartram, 5 to 3 over Niels.

Karl Boyes beats Can Wang on the double hill. Wang goes to the side of the chart.
 
Van-Van on the hill against Shorty, 10 to 7.

Appleton and Ortmann tied at 5-5.
 
If Bartram wins, he plays the winner of Ortmann and Appleton on the A side of the chart.
 
After two dry breaks in a row, Jason changed sides, and the 9 did not go toward a corner pocket.
 
Hard to believe Keith McCready doesn't get the itch....


Ken

Oh, he's itching. :D

Van-van wins over Shorty, 11 to 7. Shorty goes to the B side of the chart.

The other Keith is now 9 over Thorsten's 4. WOW!

Bartram at 6, Niels 3. Smooth criminal is on a roll!
 
Back to Archer breaking from his right side, and the 9-ball went in that same corner pocket (it gets spotted).

They're spotting the 9 if it goes in?

J. Shaw over T. Kennedy, 11 to 6. Kennedy moves to the B side.

Darren and Oliver 6-6.
 
I feel like writing a Jimmy Fallon thank-you note.

Thank you, Scorekeeper, for taking yoru time on putting up the scores and allowing me to prepare my chicken and veggies. Keith doesn't have to eat a TV dinner now.

KEITH BENNETT ON THE HILL against Thorsten. 10-4. WOWSA!

Oliver pulls out by a nose in this race to 11 with Darren, 7-6.
 
It happened again in the final game. Johnny made a couple of balls on the break, then the 1, then the 2/9 combo with the 9-ball hanging in the jaws.

I HOPE THIS ENDS SOMEHOW
 
Yeah. It's unreal. :frown:

They must have heard me. :thumbup:

Bartram over Niels 5 to 3. Yay!

Keith Bennett over Thorsten, 7 to 4.

Oliver still in the lead over Darren, 5 to 3.

Tommy Kennedy fighting back, has 6 and Shaw has 10.

Boyes and Wang now at 10 to 10.

Keith will just have to eat a TV dinner tonight, I'm afraid. :p

Tommy has the heart of a lion. Most people don't know this guy won more tournaments back in the 80's playing the Florida tour. He won three in a row once that I know of and we are talking about super tough fields.
