IPT NA Open Qualifier
Paradise Pool & Billiards
Corpus Christi, Texas
June 16-18
Karl has done the business by qualifying for the IPT North American Open held at the Venetian
Hotel, Las Vegas in late July. He was 6-3 down, then 8-5 down but he strung together some awesome pool

the last frame at 9 all with some breathtaking pool. Well done Karl.
