Larry Nevel, winner of the Viking Cue 9-Ball Tour Championship last November, beat Hall-of-Famer Buddy Hall. Another HOF resident, Nick Varner, was defeated by Alex Pagulayan, runner-up in the U.S. Open last September. one of the best matches to watch, however, was the match between Grady "The Professor" Mathews and the infamous Keith McCready, in which Mathews ended up winning 3-1.
