Alcano and Lining Qualify from: John Kutcher - Tournament Director
LAS VEGAS, NV Comments “Well, day one is over (its 11:30 pm) and all seems to have gone reasonably well. We had a couple of games that were issued warnings for slow play but everything else was smooth. This is a pretty good field and I’m glad I didn’t have to face it. I haven’t seen to many run outs in a row, maybe three for the high. We cut our pockets down to 4 ½ in. when we recovered the tables so that might have something to do with it.” “World champions Lou Butera, Ed Kelly, and Paul Brienza were here and a lot of the players got a kick out of talking with them. Tomorrow we should see Mary Kinneston and Frank Alverez. I’m also expecting to see reporters from Gaming Today, a national sports and gaming paper and from the local CBS affiliate so we might have some interviews and maybe a sound bite to send you. The TV station wanted to know if Lou and I could match up for them to get on film. If I get beat please don’t put it on the web site!” “I also showed the players a piece of the heavy nap cloth and they were amazed how thick and nappy it is.” “Today we got to witness a rare feat in pool. Ramil Gallego ran nine consecutive racks and almost ten Ronato Alcano and out. When he got to five people began to talk and gather around the table. As he broke each rack the balls spread pretty wide open and he executed run after run perfectly. The crowd all thought he would run ten and out. But in the tenth he ran all but the eight ball and got a bad kick trying for very difficult position. And he still almost made a tremendous kick shot. Ramil is definitely a force that will have to be reckoned with in future events.” Challenge Matches Four players who have been eliminated will play against IPT Pro Frank Alvarez . Challengers who beat Frank will earn a free entry into a qualification tournament of their choice. If Frank wins, he will win $1,000 per match. First Match: Richard Burns - 10 | Frank Alvarez - 4 Second Match: Thomas Hernandez - 10 | Frank Alvarez - 1 Third Match: Gerado Jamito - 10 | Frank Alvarez - 7 Fourth Match: Ramil Gallego - 10 | Frank Alvarez - 6
