Diamond's One Pocket

I have been sweating the action and the tournament at Diamond's the last few days. The streaming video is a little ragged, but they are working on it, and you can still follow the games on three tables. There are three players left in the tournament - Billy Incardona, Roger Griffis & Cliff Joiner. I was impressed with Roger's game when he beat Ike Runnels, a very good player & I watched most of that match. Billy beat T-Rex twice, who went off to Billy pretty good a few weeks ago giving him big weight. Wonder what he thinks of that game now.

They tee it up again at 6pm tonight & it is worth watching. Hopefully there will be more of these in the future.

Well I assure the sweating was much better in person. Roger had the bye in the first round and was handily throttled in the second by the Lizard. When I left late Tuesday night he was still debating a buy back. I'm glad that I didn't take any bets on him going any further. Ike is such a great player and plays this game all the time. I was a little surprised that Roger was able to beat him

Roger still shoots very straight, but I guess I underestimated his one hole speed. After Newkirk beat Joyner in the second round I should have known that anything could happen and usually does!

you are right about Chohan/Incardona, they matched up just about every time they had a moment to spare. Billy was still getting the best of it. I think he was getting the hit and the pick but from what I saw he really didn't need it. Billy was playing VERY well

I hope this tournament garners more attention in the future. I'm sure that the Open starting next week affected attendance, but it was STILL GREAT!!!

Diamonds did a good job getting things going. It was a little slow to start but when are pool players EVER on time...

You couldn't ask for better playing conditions

I see Billy & T-Rex are were playing again last night & Billy is still getting a little weight. Wonder how many stake horses Tony has gone through. Can't believe there is not more interest on this board in the tournament and the action. Some of the best playing for several days and very little response and/or comments here. Finals between Billy & Cliff are tonite.

I was hoping for a little more banter myself

Man, Billy has really taken care of business!! I don't believe he can beat cliff in a race to 5 even. But he's been mowin' them down this week! I'm surprised he's making such short work of Chohan. Of course we all have someone we don't play well against. Maybe Chohan's is Incardona.

Anybody having any luck?

I have only been able to tune into Diamond once in the last 2 weeks. And then it was not a match. Tonight, no luck again. Getting, page cannot be diaplayed, how about you John.?

They need to take some streaming lessons from JCIN

Sometimes it takes six or eight tries, but I get in. Cliff just beat Billy to win the match about five minutes ago. It wasn't great streaming and no commentary, but it was a start and I enjoyed watching it. I'm sure it will get better.
