[Roger Sersted]

Thanks, I was pretty excited when it happened.  I had one other 8-ball 
break, but I scratched, so I lost.

I should add, the first game I won because my opponent's teammate 
insisted on giving a coach for a moderately easy shot.  When this person 
stepped-in, I was elated, because I knew it could open the door for me. 
  He made the shot on his last ball, but blew the leave.  His shot on 
the 8 to the corner missed and it rolled the length of the table in to 
the opposite corner.
