Tony Chohan of Sacramento, CA, lost his last match 8-5 but has two wins so far today. “I’m playing real good right now, I just keep coming up dry on the break. I’m two and one right now—I just lost to Mika—now I just gotta win one more at least to try to guarantee it, but I gotta win both, gotta win every match … Every time I get a shot I’m running out, so it’s not the run-out or the pattern or missing balls … it’s just the break. But everybody is getting that.”The majority of the Filipinos have won their third-round matches, wi the exception of Warren Kiamco, Santos Sambajon Jr., and Marlon Manalo (who lost to fellow countryman Ramil Gallego).And no women won in the third round. In addition to Jasmin Ouschan’s and Allison Fisher’s losses earlier, Edwin Montal destroyed Karen Corr 8-1, Loree Jon Jones lost 8-6 to James Walden, Joern Kaplan bested Kelly Fisher 8-6, and David Matlock won a grudge match against Sarah Ellerby 8-5.“That match, I got revenge. She beat me in Vegas. I just don’t have the equipment at home, I need to get the equipment. I’ve got the cloth and just don’t have it set up yet. I really need it, because I’m really making mistakes I just normally wouldn’t. I can play good on this equipment—I just need to practice on it.“I gotta win both. I think I have a shot if I win them both. Maybe not, though, it depends on everything else that happens … if they lose, you never know. But I’m betting that I have to win them both. In fact, one of the guys I have to play has already won two.”Round 2 GROUP 41GROUP 42GROUP 43GROUP 44GROUP 45GROUP 46GROUP 47GROUP 48GROUP 49GROUP 50GROUP 51GROUP 52GROUP 53GROUP 54GROUP 55GROUP 56GROUP 57GROUP 58GROUP 59GROUP 60K.
