First, the NOLA crew got drowned by the new and improved Justin "The Stakehorse" Cleary. Justin is easily 2 balls better than he was last year, compliments to his player/coach Evan Lunda, who is also playing fantastic pool. I think NOLA was stuck about 150K by Monday, but made a big comeback against Scooter and Brighton for 50K on Tuesday. These are races to 4 for 30K, 40K, 50K, so money can change hands quickly. On Wednesday, the big calcutta came and as you know, blew all notions of big money out of the water as Fedor went for 40K and Alex P went for 38K, with Tony going for 31K and Roberto going for 29K. Total calcutta was nearly 290K. Upsets in Round 1:
Josh Roberts defeats #1 Blind bind one pocket king Alex Pagulayan
Billy Thorpe defeats Hennessy
Fedor defeats Roberto Gomez (not an upset but a significant match)
Frost defeats Calderon in a typical 6 hour war double hill.
Tony, D. Smith, Corey and Evan get byes
Morra defeats JHall double hill
Sergio wins easy over D. Adkins
Robert Frost wins
Round 2 action
