uchigaki, off from a surprise win over reyes (phi), got to an early start 4-0 but a rare miss allowed martel to catch up and the score now is 6-3.
uchigaki manages to retain control of the table, however, and is now only two racks away from continuing to the next round at 7-3.
nice break from uchigaki on rack 11 and he makes a ball with a clean shot at the one. he banks the 1 ball for good position on the 2. to get to the 3 he has to follow the 2 to just before the corner pocket. the cue ball manages to stay on the table and he has a nice shot on the 3. but to get position for the next shot he has to jack up and on the shot on the 3 the cueball nearly jumps off the table but instead rolls on top of side rail before curving back to the table!
after that near disaster uchigaki clears the rest of the balls easily for 8-3.
