Two Unknowns Battle Through To Vegas Showdown
Dave Grau and Carlos Cabello, relative unknowns outside their respective areas of the American North East and Spain,
became the latest two qualifiers to make it through to Las Vegas and the starting line up of the 2010 PartyPoker.net World Pool
Masters.
Grau, the 33 year-old from Rochester, New York beat Louis Fazekas 13-11 to bag his Vegas spot but it was almost not to be.
Taking place at Silver Tip Billiards, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, Grau looked to be cruising before he hit a snag.
‘I lead the whole way to find myself 10-6 ahead but then found myself down 11-10. I made a great out to tie it up but he
scratched unexpectedly when trying to reach the hill and it was all me from there,’ said a delighted Grau.
