In the first televised match today, Deuel lambasted Frank 10-2, forcing Frank to accept a fourth-place finish. After trading games early, Deuel found a consistent break and strung rack after rack together. While not an illegal soft break, it is controlled, and Deuel looks tough to beat.

Basavich will play Bryant for the hot seat while Deuel awaits the loser. The finals are to take place at 7 p.m. These TV final matches will be aired back-to-back in their entirety o­n local sports cable channel Buckeye Sports Network and will be broadcast around the country through Comcast and Empire Network later this year.
