I was there<Detroit> - it was a one-off sponsord by I. W. Harper -
still have the hat. But enough about me
My best guess would be Varner - IIRC - Ortman came out of
the losers bracket to play Miz. Again, I think he beat Varner
in the semis, which would mean Nicky must have beaten Mike...or not
What I DO recall is that Oliver was a 22 year pld 'kid' that no one
had ever heard of who was raining 100s on shell-shocked champions.
Lou Butera, Weenie Beanie, Dallas West, and Varner all got turned into
spectators. Nick who was at his peak, and felt to be playing the best pool
of any living human at the time, was ahead something like 84 - 0
and got beat.
Them was the days...
