World Straight Pool Updates from New Jersey

Evening session to begin soon. The winners side 6:00 matches are:

Schmidt vs Immonen
Souquet vs Hohmann
Dechaine vs Ortmann
Chavez vs Feijen
Deuel vs Hundal
Harriman vs Bustamante
Engert vs Jentsch
Babica vs VanDenBerg

The eight winners earn a spot in the last 16 single elimination stage, and the losers will need to win one more match win later this evening to get there.

In the afternoon losers bracket sessions, Ouschan beat Maidhof, Stepanov beat Daya, Lispky and Archer were both in the eighties when I left, and Barouty led Hunter by 75-45, and that's all I noticed.

To this point, there hasn't been a single 100 ball run today, with Deuel's 97 vs Lipsky the highest. The bar will surely be raised for the high run award this evening.

Form is starting to take shape. Immonen has probably shown the best form of anybody so far, with Feijen and VanDenBerg nearly as steady. Hohmann and Souquet look very dangerous, and their match should be something special. I sense that Schmidt is only just starting to find his form. Engert, Ortmann and Harriman are not in their best form to this point, but that could change in a hurry. The wild cards are Jentsch, Chavez, Babica, Dechaine, all of whom have shown occasional brilliance, but you never know what to expect from them. My sense is that neither Butmante nor Hundal has the straight pool pedigree to reach the final four, but you never know. Deuel is the one that's hardest to gauge. Corey's clearly a serious threat to beat anybody in the field, but I wonder whether he can manage sustained excellence at this level, given how often he loses his patterns.

I think the picture will become a lot clearer in the evening session, which I'm really looking forward to.

Hi All,

Just catching up here after work. I don't understand the round robin results. Are they just full of mistakes on the AZ page? I don't see how Jasmin 3-4 is in over Alan Rolon 4-3? How is Mike Davis 3-4 in over Ed Deska 4-3? Pettipiece in over Cha? Didn't Lipsky beat Lillis?

Confused!

Since Harriman is playing Busty I am guessing that Bernie lost to Busty :(

Thanks for the updates :)

Confused!
Pettipiece and Cha had the same record I believe so it came down to total balls pocketed as the tie breaker. Pettipiece pocketed more balls. There were quite a few mistakes on the front page though.
 
I'm at Amsterdam Billiards at the moment and we just got a call that Barouty beat Hunter and Lipsky eliminated Archer. Don't have any other info.

Go Stevie Patterns!

Go Barouty!
 
Just for the record I would like to say that this has really turned into a great event. Just look at the 32 players left today. Tough field and tough conditions for straight pool but a great event.
