Wednesday brought some interesting action when Tony Annigoni met Ryoku O­naga o­n the winner's side.  Annigoni bolted out to a commanding 8-2 lead early in the match, but O­naga took six straight racks to bring the match to hill-hill.  The frustration was easy to see in Annigoni's face when he missed normally makeable shots that gave O­naga the comeback opportunity.  Annigoni was setting up for his shot o­n the 7 in the final match when, to his surprise, O­naga conceded the 9-ball to allow him the win. 

In another nail-biter, Barry Emerson faced off against Danny "Kid Delicious" Basavich, who was fresh off of his Joss NE 9-Ball Finale win.  These two players traded the lead back and forth for most of the game, finally reaching hill-hill.  Emerson took the win 9-8 and sent Basavich to the west side of the chart.

There were other matches that were not as close o­n Wednesday, exampled by Chohan defeating Robb Saez 9-3 in a lightening-quick match and Cliff Joyner winning 9-3 over Bill "The Houckster" Houck.
