I ended up tied for 7-8th out of 32 players. I won a couple of tough matches (the first one over Frank Almanza) and lost to a couple of good players (Jerry Matchin aka Baby Huey) knocked me out, but overall I'm satisfied with my progress. I definitely played better than I did two months ago in Vegas. The tourney was hosted by Steve Booth of onepocket.org and held at California Billiards. We played on two Diamonds and six Gold Crowns, all of them in good condition. There was quite a few good players in the event and I think everyone had a good time.
First prize paid over $1,000 and the Calcutta also paid over $1,000 for first. I had the two players who finished third and fourth so my calcutta winnings helped pay for the trip. All and all a good experience and glad that I attended. Good competition in a friendly atmosphere, playing a game I love. You can't beat that. :thumbup2:
