Stefan Cohen is the number one seed in our group. He had me down 52-0. After my opening break, I did a real good job of racking. I didn't foul once while sitting in the chair, so up til then, my performance was a bit better than my shellacking by Stevie Moore.
He missed at 52 leaving a ball hanging and a nice 4 ball pattern to a break ball that a monkey would have had trouble screwing up. You can imagine what I felt as I got up there. "Don't screw up; Don't foul; Take your time...." I was able to stumble to a 35 ball run with only a couple of circus shots. Though I lost, I felt pretty good about putting a little something together on the big stage.
Today I have Earl Herring and Bob Jewett.
Earl is going to be mad because he had Bob 80-27 yesterday and Bob ran 72 on his way to victory. He said it tied his high run for the year and was his highest tournament run. Marop had a 41 or so playing Carmine Lombardo.
