As night fell on the West Coast Saturday evening, the remaining 16 billiards players at the UPA Pro Tour Championships made the final shove to reach the top 4 that would return in the final day.
On the winners’ side Francisco Bustamante defeated Johnny Archer 11-4, and Mika Immonen sent Charlie Bryant to the west of the bracket by virtue of an 11-8 defeat. This left Immonen and Bustamante to play the hot seat match.
Over on the one-loss side, Shawn Putnam slipped past Corey Deuel double-hill but then fell to Raj Hundal 11-6, who had began to climb his way through the carnage after his earlier loss. The other half of the bracket offered a similar story as Shane Van Boening drilled Fabio Petroni 11-1 but was then sent packing, as Robb Saez sent Ronnie Wiseman home 11-9 then Boening by the same score.
Rounding out the remaining few players on the one-loss side, Saez stayed strong, eliminating Bryant double-hill while Archer kept alive after knocking out Hundal 11-9. This leaves Saez and Archer to fight out the quarterfinals while the hot seat match prepares to offer its final victim to the left half of the bracket.
