Tuesday matches are underway at the 28th Annual US Open as news has arrived that the building will be evacuated by order of the city on Wednesday at 11:00 PM. The tentative plan is for play to resume on Friday and only miss one day.
In the Tuesday matches, Niels Feijen, Corey Deuel, Jonathan Pinegar, Max Eberle, Jimmy Wetch, Keith McCready and Alex Pagulayan all advanced into round three. McCready trailed Buddy Hall 10-8 on the TV table, but came back to win the last three racks and remain undefeated.
