Come on guys. No threads? Excellent tourney and stream. It's a shame that participation is poor but it's a building year. We need to support Mark and his efforts.

Currently Gabe O is playing Kiamco on the stream.

I didn't realize that the tournament was in process. Thanks for the heads-up.

There’s a thread or two in AZ world. We have a few members playing there. I counted only 21 entries. Pretty poor showing. I should have save a few days vacation for Vegas:lol

I plan on going out next year to watch if I don't decide to go to buffalos one pocket tourney. Either one will be a nice trip.

Nick, As well as you did in this tournament last year, I am surprised you
did not go and snap it off.

I will see you in Philly.

I stopped in for a bit. Saw Bernie P playing Corey. Saw SVB playing someone I didn’t recognize. Saw Marc Vidal playing someone I didn’t recognize who turned out was Gabe Owen😊. John Morra, Alex...Billy T on other tables...sat where I could see and watched SVB and Corey...stood for an hour, bought a shirt and hat and left for the airport...

I played in it 2011 and 2012 when it was held in Vegas with the BCA tournament at the Riviera. Great experience and in 2011 I finished 7/8th, losing to Chris Gentile who was second to Efren that year and to Alex P, who was third.

A few more players in those days, but there are so many big money tournaments going on these days that time of year, the competition for players is pretty stiff, and a local tournament is a lot less expensive than spending almost a week in Las Vegas.

Warren Kiamco won
That's pretty impressive. Kiamco's 1P game has really come up in the past few years. I played him at the Derby years back, and although he was supposed to beat me, and did, I never felt like I was ever really out of the match. But now, he's right up there with most of the best.

Warren also beat me at Derby several years ago. He banked great and cut balls in with the best of them.

I don’t know what Evan was thinking when he spotted Warren 9/7, 8/7 at Buffalos a week ago.

I played him here several years back when him and Dennis were staying with Skyler that year. I caught him when he first started playing and won a few but he out ran me with his ball pocketing. Very nice man and as a fan one of my favorite players
