Friday matches are complete at The Carolinas Open and the player drawing the most attention so far in the tournament is Nick 'The Kentucky Colonel' Varner.
Varner followed up back-to-back 11-1 wins over Jamie Turnage and Charlie Bronson, with an 11-2 win over Keith McCready Friday evening. Varner will face Ronnie Wiseman, who won the one-pocket division of this event earlier in the week.
Friday night's matches ended the same way that Thursday night's matches ended. With a room full of specators watching the last match of the night, and Jose Parica coming out on top. Thursday night, Parica came back from an 8-5 deficit to beat Mike Davis 11-8. Friday night, Parica pulled out a victory over Johnny Archer in a hill-hill match. Parica will face Alex Pagulayan on Saturday.
The brackets for the 9-ball event are posted and will be updated all weekend.
