Oliver Ortmann has done his part to set the stage for a rematch of the 1999 Challenge of Champions, where he lost in a heartbreaker to Francisco Bustamante.

Ortmann defeated Kun-Kang Lee of Taiwan 5-4, 5-4 in the first semi-final of the 2000 version of the $50,000 winner-take-all Challenge of Champions at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn. Ortmann now proceeds to the finals and awaits the winner of the second semi-final, which will get underway within the hour. If defending champ Francisco Bustamante can defeat Canadian speedster Luc Salvas in semi-final number two, he'll meet Ortmann at 8:00 p.m.
