The tour’s twelfth-ranked Richie Richeson also took a first round loss. But it was not bad news for everyone. Mario Cruz won an early match, as Donnie Mills beat Luis Vierra 9-3.With o­nly 36 players, the initial seeding of the 64-player bracket left 28 byes, which puts the event well into the second round with less than 5 hours of play completed.
