Rodney vs Oscar quarterfinal, because it has the only two remaining Americans in the field, will determine who has the early lead in the 2016 Mosconi points race.

Oscar, the last American standing at Turning Stone, will take the early lead in the 2016 Mosconi points race. Well played.

I don't know if he was planning on making a serious go at it, but I hope he does now.

If he backs this performance up with a solid effort in the Derby City 9-ball, it would be hard to imagine him not going for it.
 
Don't over look Morris either he could end up in the mix and just by JA's post I think he will be giving it his best shot
The more the better ,,competition for those slots can only be a good thing in the end

Anyone watching the finals?

Mika can be a bit of a drama queen at times, but when he's on, he sure is fun to watch.

Currently leading 7-1 (race to 13)

He is pretty dominating when he gets into this mode. I'm watching in person and I see Hunter is on the commentary, he is always good there. I wish I had a stream going at the same time.

Mika going up 10-2 now. Wow!

Yea Hunter sounds like he's very knowledgeable.
 
This happens to the undefeated side a lot in this tournament. Go all the way then lose in the race to 13. I remember this happening to a just-turned 18 John Morra, all the way undefeated to the finals and getting dominated by Johnny archer in 2007.

Sossei recently to Earl Strickland as well. Same situation.

Oh wait, didn't Mika already beat Erik?

My mind is fried.

That might be the quickest finals match at Turning Stone. Wow. Congrats to Mika. He was definitely due.

Yes he is but make no mistake about it if he's got world class pedigree and when he's focused he's a monster player so fundementaly sound it's ridiculas

Great shooting by Mika...:bow-down:

Reminiscent of the time over a decade ago that he went crazy on the world for about
a year and a half.....the world needed the 8 for a while.

I must confess that I was pulling for Erik...
Watched him win his first big tournament in Prince Albert....there were a few world champions
in that field...he played marvelous and won it from the A-side.......
....he was 18 years old.

It was hard to tell who was the aggressor or in the wrong here. I agree that it is wrong to lay the blame with Mike here.

Mike doesn't appear to be a fighter....that said my kid sister beats up Hunter 30 seconds into round 1!
