5th place in Finland.
Just got knocked out in the quarter finals here in Helsinki. Good tournament with great pricefund but a little amateur that the balls are tapped with the 1 on the spot. People making 2/3/4 balls a lot so in my opinion it's a 6ball tournament from the start.
Didn't have much peace in my body cause of the emotional last week with 2 funerals. Couldn't get at ease and my A-game didn't show itself too often. Won my match this morning 11-8 over a Finish player, who started the match with a 1/2 liter of beer at 10:00 in the morning 
In the quarters I had to play the Finish talent Laaksonen. Good young player with a lot of heart. I went up 5-3 but he came back and made it 6-7. The cutbreak wasn't real productive, got hooked a few times so had to switch to the powerbreak.
I played a good safe in the next game on the 3 but he kicked it in the side of the short rail...Another safe, but he jumped it in and ran out this time. I scratched on a long 1ball in the next game, 6-10. I fired back to 9-10 and he had his last break....made 3 balls but I saw right away he was hooked on the 2ball...However the 9 was rolling to the sidepocket and dropped in at the last second. Crowd went nuts of course and it was shower time...
