Interesting note from Gene Miller. Evidently Chohan is out on bail, and played a 1P match with Santos over the weekend. Didn't hear the result. No one knows how much slam time he'll get:

Results of USPPA Summer Shootout at California Billiard Club, Mountain View, June 20-21
89 players @ $50 plus $1,000 added by California Billiard Club.
Total prize fund: $5,450
This was the 23rd time California Billiard Club has held a “Reno style” USPPA tournament. For years it was held as a “Reno Warmup” but now, even with no Summer event at the Sands in Reno, the tradition continues, and this time we drew 89 players. Among them were 15 players with averages of 100 or better and six new members playing their first USPPA event. It was a two-day event that brought back the 24 money winners on Sunday. All matches were race to eight using 100% handicap, on a double elimination board. It was my pleasure to run the tournament, and even though it was not error-free on my part, the glitches were more amusing than troublesome. Spectators were treated to an interesting side show as the championship match began -- a One-Pocket match with Santos Sambajon and Tony Chohan.
Pictures! Once again Bob Beaulieu brought his camera, you can see his photography at two Internet locations:
