On the bottom bracket, Erik Hjorleifson 9+ beat out Ramon Mistica 9+ and Erik prevailed over Ramon 9-6. Then the two brackets were brought together. The first match of the combined brackets was between Erik Hjorleifson and Jason Klatt. The match went hill-hill, however Erik prevailed and sent Jason packing home with a 4th place finish.
In the semi-finals Al Lougheed played Erik Hjorleifson. Erik prevails again winning 9-6 and marches off towards the finals with hot seater Mike Vidas. Erik needed to win two sets to MIke's one set to nine. But it was Mike's day, or you could say, the day with the Vidas touch.
