As if Allison Fisher's first round loss to Iris Ranola was not surprise enough at the WPBA US Open 9-Ball Championships, the unthinkable has happened and Fisher has lost her second straight match of the event.
Fisher lost to Sarah Rousey after leading 8-7, but failing to pocket the 2 ball in game sixteen. Rousey ran that table to knot the score at 8-8 and then calmly broke and ran the final rack to send the #1 ranked Fisher back home with a 49th place finish and most likely a fall from #1 in the points list.
Rousey will face Liz Ford in the next round.
Other surprises from Oklahoma include a "2 and out" finish for Melissa Herndon after a loss to Morgan Steinman and Dawn Hopkins. Jennifer Chen has also been eliminated after losses to Yu Ram Cha and Val Finnie.
