Tuesday begins the week-long pool extravaganza with a $5,000 guaranteed added one-pocket event (limited to 64 players) that kicks off on Thursday at 12 pm; and a $20,000 guaranteed added ten-ball event that started up this evening with seventy-four players on-hand.

Many top names made their way to North Carolina including Tony “T-Rex” Chohan, Mike “Iron Mike” Davis, Shannon Daulton, Larry “The Truth” Nevel, Shane Van Boening, Corey Deuel, Stevie Moore, Cliff Joyner, along with plenty of up-and-comers including Virginia's Brandon Shuff and Larry Kressel, Jared McGee, Marc Vidal, Beau Runningen, and the list goes on.
