Races to 7, with true double elimination. That means there's a possibility of a 26 game final match (gasp!).

Every 2 weeks he takes a 3 week vacation...😄

I couldn't get past that little fart Orcullo's first shot. He takes too damn long to shoot!

Eddie must have been born in a N.O. poolroom. He was going hot 'n heavy when I moved here in 2000. He was the only guy who ever asked me if I'd bet on the side in a tournament match at the old Pickles poolroom near Ochsners Hosp. I should have. I beat him 2-0 in a race to two!!..😄 Eddie...

That's good to hear. He and I kinda got out of correspondence. I'll have to Email him.

Happy Birthday, neigh-bah! I was wondering when you'd get around to having a birthday...:cautious: If I can ever get back to being able to run 2-3 balls, I'll invite ya over! Hell, even Col. Bille could beat me now!..😄

We also lost Keone as a poster last year.

No FB guys??...😄

Those were some good players. I know that Filipino Gene played one hole, along with Palmer and Hadad. There was a big S.F. 1P tournament held at that room (Chalker's?) owned by a lady proprietor (Bachman?) whose name I can't remember. They had a good turnout. I'd say that was around 1996.

Hmmm, I'd say if it were made 1 time in 10 that it would be remarkable. I don't think anyone would ever try that shot in a serious 1P game. Too easy to sell out.

That's true, things changed. SF may have been a OP town in the '60s, but in the '90s you'd have to travel 400 miles to get a one-pocket game...:( A few guys in L.A., and a very few in SF (like Henderson) played it, but it was all 9ball.

Nice match to watch. One guy was up 2-0, but then the other guy won 3 in a row to take it. Cheers, Cincy!

I'd say either Johnny Irish or Eddie Taylor.

Grady Mathews died in April of 2012.

That's interesting that the shooter would still be on 2 fouls in contrast to "...he asked Jeremy Jones, who agreed with my friend that one would no longer be on 2 fouls if not properly warned and commits a 3rd consecutive foul, so they would only be on their first foul in a row in respect to...

Welcome to our little leper colony...:cool:

I'm surprised that the match was that close. I would have thought that Orcullo should be able to give immomen 10-8.

$10K added is very nice, but it seems low in a $5K entry tournament. Imagine a $200 entry tournament only adding $400...:cautious:

Happy Birthday, ole buddy!

Is Truman still playing? I don't think he plays the banks at DCC any more
