It’s Do or Die at IPT Billiards TournamentIPT World Open 8-Ball Championship Forums (/forums/index.php)Visit the IPT World Open 8-Ball Championship Image Gallery (/pool_billiard_photos/index.php)Charlie Bryant remains undefeated for today’s matches, going into the fifth round to play German qualifier Michael Schmidt. “I feel great today, I’m three and oh,” Bryant effused. “My break is starting to come together real good … it’s been a tough year for me, I lost my mom last year, and Saturday made a year at this tournament. I’m finally coming back to myself and my winning ways. I’m guaranteed to go through to tomorrow—the last set I broke and ran seven from the lag. I got one of the most awesomest breaks in the building, so it makes a big difference. I just hit them harder than anyone in the building, that’s something I been known for for a long time … it makes a big difference.”

It felt so good, and I knew it was just a matter of time before I caught a gear, and I’ll be honest—if I keep breaking the way I have, I really believe I can win this tournament.
