Place: Oh no I can’t remember the name of the place. Close to Vienna. Mucken something

Referee: Highly experienced German Shepard Little. The level of the play will be assessed by the consistency of her pooh around the pool room after the game. The looser will clean it, too.

Format: 9 Ball. Reese’s Cup moving from head string along the diamonds, left side for the picture guy right side for the surfer girl. First one to make it to the foot string takes the Reese’s Cup. Oh confusing? Simply said 9 ahead wins.
The pressure to win will be immense, as both participants are on low carb diet. Oh and the Reeses is very, very special to both of the participants… Participants are not allowed to obtain and consume any other Reese’s Cups before the match or after, besides the one that has been played for. No sharking allowed.

The music played during the match will be chosen by the currently loosing participant.

(pics are still uploading)

But tomorrow I will put everything online (Thorsten, Jeanette, Ralf, Karen Corr, 9 Ball Bank Final and so on)
Also I recorded a complete match from Jeanette Lee.

I saw a 9 Ball Bank match between Homann and Bustamante.
(Thorsten won, not to bad for a German guy *ggggg*)
I have also seen a lot of One Pocket and other Bank Pool matches .

Played some games @ AZ room and met a lot of AZ members.

This evening I watched first the Fatball Challenge (Ralf won again )
and after that I was going to see te TAR Efren Reyes vs Shane Van Boening match.

As you can imagine, this was an exciting game. (It was a hell of a game)
Both guys played awesome, but because of the time (it was about 4:00 am) 
and the mental pressure, both guys missed one or two balls.
Finally Shane was doing his last rack….everything was looking fine….
everybody was feeling the pressure…. about 4 balls remaining.
And just in this moment the light powered down. Unbelievable !!
The crowed was out of control !!!!!
I caught some facial expressions from Shane with my camera after the light was back.
After this incident  Shane finished his last rack and deserved the win.

Enjoy the photos:

What happened today ???

I met a lot of the pros today (Ralph Souquet, Thorsten Hohmann, Grady Mathews and so on….)

I felt like being in a big family, thank you guys !!!

Finally I met some friends today (Joerackem aka Kathy  Sullivan and  Joe Nielsen and Fatboy (you all know him))

Thanks guys, I enjoyed it with you today, can’t wait to see you tomorrow.

Tested the new OB break cue with the Samsara tips (You have to try this cue guys, I liked it)

 and I also hit some balls with a OB cue and OB-2 shaft.

@ the AZ Room I met a lot of nice players/ forum members.

And I also played some games. (9 Ball, 10 Ball (Ring game with some AZ guys), Straight Pool, 8 Ball, 9 Ball Bank )

Derby is really 24/7 action, you have to see this !!!! To be honest, I’m only @ te room, because I have to sleep some hours.

I looked at all rooms before I went back to the room, and found sleeping players, Pros in discussions,  action (TAR Pit was full),  and the 9 Ball mini tournament still going on.

Sorry guys, only two pics today, because I played a lot (My VIP TV seat and me with Grady “The Professor” Matthews):

Here a short vide from my VIP TV seat, so you can see how close you can se the pros

Sorry for the bad quality, but I have to compress the video to get it uploaded because the internet connection is very slow.
