Hard Times Chuck Markulis Memorial Finals

22 year old Lukas Verner Won the hot seat over Mitch Ellerman with a beautiful nine and out. Waiting for winner of Sky Woodward and Gerson Martinez to play Ellerman, and plays the winner there in the finals. Free stream from post up on you tube or facebook starts at ten. Some incredible matches left. I got
A call yesterday from my old friend Bob Ohashi who is working in Conneticut. He told me this young guy Erik who plays out of Jayson Shaw's room was coming out and plays well. 22 year old is a monster player.

Thank you, Dustin, for the link. I watched the continuation (final two games in a race to 4 that goes hill-hill) of the one pocket finals between Gerson Martinez (Peru-age 28) and Lukas Verner (USA-Wallingford, Ct.-age 21) which begins at 2:39 of the YouTube stream. I suppose Gerson should be considered a Chicago guy when he's in the USA since I see him frequently on Facebook streams playing action matches in a scotch doubles format at a Chicago private club. He's a newbie when it comes to one pocket, but is a splendid talent. He's another ideal example that super straight shooters, ala Joshua Filler and Fedor Gorst, can overcome their lack of one pocket experience by consistently pocketing tough shots and running balls.

I've been seeing Lukas around here in New England since he was about 14 years old, with his dad transporting him around. In fact we have both played in some local One Pocket events (at Mazin's Billiards in Malden MA). He is a straight shooter and seems to be getting better and better. Good for him!!

Danny and I talked a bit about the pool scene in Seattle, and some mutual friends. Are you the John that is his roommate and was down for the last tournament here?

Especially if they've watched a couple of hundred hours of 1P video, like what wasn't available to straight-shootin' suckers in the good old days.

Hell, I used to.... um..... maybe not.

I believe that was another John. I usually dont travel too far from Kent and Auburn.
