The end of 1994 once again brought us to Reno, Nevada for the Sands Regency Open 20. Leading up to this tournament you could feel it coming. Rafael Martinez had turned on the heat throughout the year on the Pro Tour and, by the time he arrived in Reno, he was smokin.’

Rafael’s 13-7 match with Nick manifested his power, patience, and determination as he frustrated Nick with subtle safety play and awesome pocketing power. His win over Johnny in the winners’ bracket finals continued the example. As the sole undefeated player, Rafael, once again, faced Johnny. In the finals they fought like feral dogs as the excitement built - both on and off the table. The crowd was really in this one as the applause thundered throughout the casino. At 14-14 Johnny, well, we really shouldn’t tell you how it happened as he captured his 4th Sands title. Among the other great matches was the Battle of the Filipinos, as Bustamante and Reyes also went Hill-Hill. Also in the semi-finals, Archer over Bustamante, is a tournament highlight. Martinez goes for broke
