Immonen says that while each match was close to the end, they all had unique qualities.  "Johnny and I were o­n the hill and he broke, but he left himself a tricky shot at the o­ne ball.  He masséd around to hit the o­ne but didn't make it.  He left me a long o­ne-ball shot, and I made it and ran out."

He won his match against Joyner in a similar fashion, making a tough shot in the decisive match and running out.  Against Jones, though, he had a chance to avoid the hill.  "I was up ten to nine, but I didn't close it out, and I had to come back to win."

His rematch with Souquet was anything but close.  Immonen jumped out early and played extremely smart but also aggressive.  He took home the $10,000 first-place prize by winning 13-3. 

"I think I had the advantage," said Immonen.  "I think I wanted it more.  I hadn't won a tournament since January.  But you can never expect to (rout) anyone like that in the finals."

Now that the win is starting to sink in, Immonen realizes that his feat o­n Sunday was truly unbelievable.  "It is pretty amazing to win three straight like that," he said, "especially when three of them broke in the last game."
