Who Is The Unknown That Beat Stevie?

On the subject of "unknowns"
IMO there are a lot of "unknowns" out there just waiting to show their heads.
Think Jason Shaw. My impression is that no one knew him a few months ago. I have a feeling there are a lot of players that have their own tables that don't play in tournaments. Anyone remember when the IPT tour started? Players from every stripe came out of the woodworks; lots of them were pretty sporty too.
But then I'm speaking from the perspective of Hard Times in Bellflower, CA.
Even SVB said that when he went to Asia to play he came across lots of players that could play at the professional level yet are unknown to the rest of the world.
Nonetheless, isn't it great to see our pool of great players growing and growing?! At this pace those sponsorships (and the money) should grow as well.

Nnot really, no ... and doubt it
Johnny,
Remember these are small Diamonds. Magic rack in use. Race to six. Winner breaks. A few years ago, I beat the previous years winner 6 zip. Not as difficult as you may think. In that event, you could break from the side. The one was on the spot. An employee of Rum Runner was the designated racker / referee. Keep your opponent on the defense (or in his seat) and he can't win. Oh, by the way, this is a GREAT event!

Yes you're right. I should have thought of that. Thank you. Johnnyt
You said tha sh?t straight. The big tables........that's where it's at.

Roger Bordley beat Stevie Moore and then he lost to Brian Parks 6-4
Jason Shaw was beaten by a " B " Player and not even a " A" player and that was his first loss. Don`t remember who put him out.
Stevie Moore was beaten by a guy from Ogden, Uttah 6-2 but not 6-0. If some body believes in the "construct" of "bad rolls, Good Rolls", one would have seen those Rolls during that match. Stevie had nothing but Bad Rolls and his opponent had nothing but Good Rolls. But his opponent can play. A day before the tournament he practiced in Cue club on 9 Footers. He was on table 2 and I was on table 3. He could make some shots on 9 footers also.

Ive only played one real tourney on diamond minis and i did not miss a shot i was trying to make, all event.
The break was far easier to execute too, an i generally break well on the full sizer,
Only thing that keeps me from being a wirld beater on the littl tables? The fact tha everybody els plays better there too!

I was there to watch the entire match. Stevie was in a nightmare match, he didn't get any opportunity at the table until he was down 5 to 0.
His opponent was a fair to good player but got enought rolls to last a year. Everything he did came out good for him including making one nine on the break. Stevie was kicking for the first five games. His opponent had the chance to win the match 6-0 with a ball in hand. He passed on a two nine combo but instead opted to run out with the four tied up. That is how Stevie won the two games he wound up with. Stevie had a fluky scratch that finally gave his opponent the win.

Anything can happen at any given time on a barbox......seen some crazy stuff match-wise.
