if you ran nine at carom cafe on sunday you had only the fifth best run of the day!
some amazing runs at the 3-cushion tournament at carom cafe yesterday. i had the good fortune of seeing all of them. in reverse order, sonny cho ran 12 against hugo patino in a game that would determine who would play for the title. luis aveiga of ecuador ran 13 against pedro piedrabuena in the round preceding the aforementioned cho run. at virtually the same time that aveiga was running his 13, patino was running a 14 against u.s. champion jae cho on the adjacent table. and last but certainly not least, piedrabuena fashioned an amazing run of 19 against aveiga an inning before aveiga's 13. it was pedro's career-high run in tournament play.
