At 12:35 a.m. Friday morning, Humberto E. Gil '81 sank the eight-ball.
Gil and his teammate, Chris J. Downey '81, thus captured the first Dunster House Lloyd Walker Classic Eight-Ball Championship, defeating Dunster House residents Tony B. Bator '79 and Tod Tanaka '79.

After the match, both sides admitted that they felt tension during the match.
