 Jose Parica beat Francisco Bustamante early Thursday |
With a handful of matches still being played at 2:30 am, day five is winding down at the US Open 9-Ball Championship.
In a match that took nearly three hours, Corey Deuel outlasted Shannon Daulton 11-10 to remain on the winners side. Daulton was to face Niels Feijen at the conclusion of that match, but the match was rescheduled for Friday morning due to the late hour.
