Hundal, Sigel Clinch Advancement

Hundal, Sigel Clinch AdvancementRaj Hundal was the first to finish in the fifth round Monday evening, cementing his return to the North American Open 8-Ball Championship with an 8-0 victory over Hall of Fame member Dallas West. In half of the racks in the match, Hundal broke and ran out. Hundal won the 2005 World Pool Masters over Rodney Morris and was one of the youngest Mosconi Cup teammates in history that same year.Visit the IPT North American Open image galleryDay 1 image galleryDay 2 image galleryMatch schedule“I lost my first game, and then I went and washed my face in the toilet and had a word with myself—I can’t tell you word, it’s very rude—and pulled my socks up. I won eight-three, eight-three, and eight-zero. I just played perfect on Dallas West. He’s a Hall of Famer—it was an honor to play the guy, but to beat him like that? At the end of the match he said to me, ‘Your time is coming.’ That’s a lot of respect, and I’ve got a lot of respect for that guy. But the way I just played there, I could go on and do damage to anyone.”
One of the next matches to finish was in the same group: Scott Frost versus Ismael Paez, where Paez won 8-3. Teetering on a knife’s edge between making it and going home early, Frost and his pals anxiously crowded the control booth while the IPT staff calculated his games-won percentage. When the staff told him that it was not official but looked good for his advancement, he clapped his hands together loudly and went away quite relieved.Dropping off his last scorecard, Mike “The Mouth” Sigel said, “Read ‘em and weep. I’m dabbing, I’m dabbing.” With his perfect 4-0 record, Sigel will advance as well.Browse by Group Group 1Alex LELYLou BUTERAJackie BROADHURSTJon KUCHAROJason KIRKWOODGroup 2Niels FEIJENKaren CORRRay MARTINLee Heuwagen Greg HOGUEGroup 3Tuan Kiat GOHKeith Bennett Sarah ELLERBYEric HJORLEIFSONDavid MATLOCKGroup 4Alex PAGULAYAN Mike MASSEYTammy JONESGoran MLADENOVICCorey HARPERGroup 5Austin MURPHYDanny BASAVICHEwa LAURANCESam MONDAYAnthony GINNGroup 6Mike GULYASSYEarl STRICKLANDMiyuki SAKAIChris ORMETeddy GARRAHANGroup 7Raj HUNDALDallas WESTMonica WEBBIsmael PAEZScott FROSTGroup 8William INCARDONANick VARNERHelena THORNFELDTJonathan PENEGARRico DIKSGroup 9Gabe OWENEfren REYESMary KENNISTONJames WALDENLuis CONDOGroup 10Francisco BUSTAMANTEEd KELLYGerda HOFSTATTERJim WEASTAndreas KOUKIADAKISGroup 11Mike SIGELPhilip HARRISONJames ROBERTSDavid BROXSONLinda CARTERGroup 12Joe MINICIDee ADKINSMarlon MANALORobin DODSONRichard BROUMPTONGroup 13Zlatko JAKULJLoree Jon JONESJohn MACIASErnesto DOMINGUEZKarl BOYESGroup 14Grady MATHEWSAndreja KLASOVICMarko LOHTANDERAllison FISHERJeff ABERNATHYGroup 15Dennis ORCOLLOKelly FISHERGary ABOODWayne CATLEDGEJohn KUTCHERGroup 16Ivaca PUTNIKJimmy WHITEQuinten HANNDavid ALCAIDERonato ALCANOGroup 17Bernie FRIENDLarry SCHWARTZGeorge SANSOUCIJohnny ARCHERDenver BARGERGroup 18Jeff Beckley Ike RUNNELSShannon DAULTONCorey DEUELRonnie WISEMANGroup 19Robert MCKENNAJohn WIMSShane VAN BOENINGThorsten HOHMANNMichael VIDASGroup 20Jim RANEYCharles BRYANTOliver ORTMANNMika IMMONENGandy VALLEGroup 21 Mike LEBRONVincent FACQUETDennis HATCHRonnie O’SULLIVANSandor TOTGroup 22 Leonardo GUNNARTom STORMDaryl PEACHJohn SCHMIDTKonihiko TAKAHASHIGroup 23 Colin COLENSOJimmy FUSCOGeorge BREEDLOVERalf SOUQUETMark TADEMYGroup 24 Jianbo FUPaul BRIENZALaurant TRAVERSJerry CALDERONSal BUTERAGroup 25 Warren KIAMCOBrian SALEHMichael ZIMMERMAN Keith MCCREADY Cliff JOYNERGroup 26 Aaron FRANKENSammy JONESEvgeny STALEVTony ROBLESAntonio LININGGroup 27 Stephan SANTLVilmos FOLDESRodolfo LUATJimmy WETCHMori MANABUGroup 28 Imran MAJIDRalph ECKERTThomas KENNEDYAaron CZETLIHoward VICKERYGroup 29 Lee CHENMANAdam WHEELERGerry WATSONShawn PUTNAMMarco MARQUEZGroup 30 Michael CERNEROJohl YOUNGERBrian GROCEJose PARICARafael MARTINEZGroup 31 Neil RAYBONEDavid RELJICRafael GONZALEZRodney MORRISTomoki MEKARIGroup 32 Tyler EDEYPaul POTIERKim DAVENPORTJason MILLERSteve MOOREGroup 33 Yannick BEAUFILSWade CRANEFabio PETRONIMax EBERLELarry NEVELGroup 34 Darren APPLETONAllen HOPKINSPatrick HOLTZMike DAVISTakeshi OKUMURAGroup 35 Ryan KELLEREdwin MONTALMarkus JUVAMarkus CHAMATArturo RIVERAGroup 36 John DITOROCarl MORRISBernd JAHNKEJeremy JONESRobb SAEZGroup 37 Lance SALAZARDanny DILIBERTOBobby HUNTERTony CHOHANTroy FRANKGroup 38 Ouahbi AMINEAlejandro CARVAJALMick HILLCharlie WILLIAMSSantos SAMBAJONGroup 39 Roland ACOSTAChris BARTRAMFrank ALVAREZLuc SALVASMichael SCHMIDTGroup 40 Stan TOURANGEAULeil GAYScotty TOWNSENDNick VAN DEN BERGTony CROSBVisit Inside POOL Magazine for the latest news from the sport of pool and billiards and the IPT North American Open 8-Ball Championship.
