Relinquished to the brutal bracket, Medina had victories over J. P. Martinez 7-5 and Franco 7-4. Tommy Milburn ended Medina’s run for the title, 7-3 for a fifth-place tie with Franco. Tommy "California Dreaming" Milburn of Houston had his best tournament so far with triumphs over Matt Wilson 9-4, Steve Lenz 9-8, and Robert Newkirk 9-6 and was sent kicking to the o­ne-loss side by Jason Kirkwood. After slugging it out with Medina 7-3, Milburn was overcome by David Henson in a tight match 7-6 to finish in the fourth place position.

David "Chalk is Free" Henson of Pflugerville continues to improve at each event. He took the long road after a first-round loss to James Davis, Jr. 9-7. In the pressure cooker of the o­ne-loss side, Henson sent T. J. Davis by forfeit, Matt Wilson 7-1, Macferren 7-0, Fuller 7-3, Lanny Herrin 7-4, Robert Newkirk 7-0, Juan Garcia 7-3, and Milburn 7-6, to the spectator gallery before being vanquished by Jones in a nail biter 7-6.

 Jones looked unstoppable in his quest for another win o­n the tour, with conquests over Corey Dordek 9-5, James Davis, Jr. 9-1, Medina 9-8, and Juan Garcia 9-7. Jones’s quest was derailed by Kirkwood in the finals of the winners’ side with a score of 9-7. Jones defeated Henson for the finals of the o­ne-loss side 7-6.

 Kirkwood showed his knowledge and execution of the game by dismissing Rigo Pena 9-5, Sylver Ochoa, 9-1, Franco, 9-3, Lanny Herrin 9-1, Tommy Milburn 9-0, and Jones 9-7 to become king of the hill. This set the stage for a great final match between Kirkood and Jones. Kirkwood led the match until Jones came within o­ne game at 8-7. In the final game, Jones missed the 6 ball o­nly for Kirkwood to run out for his first tour victory.
