Pro vs. Amateur - Justin Bergman vs. Preston Hall (17-3 Spot)

[RabbiHippie]

Interesting action match-up from the STL Players Club livestream between Justin Bergman and Preston Hall with a 17-3 ball spot. Preston is Justin Hall's brother and has the same banking pedigree but also shows some good moving skills in the early games before Bergman built up an insurmountable lead. Both players seemed to ease up after about game #4, but I think Bergman gave a full effort and Hall played above his head up to that point. The wager was for something significant, although I don't know the exact amount.

The video belongs to the guys at STL Players Club and was streamed live on their Facebook feed. The owners Brendan and John do a great job and their livestream is well worth supporting as a subscriber.
