Hammerheads Billiards lounge hosted the latest event on the KF Cue Tours Calendar. The event kicked off with 47 players showing up for the Amateur event with a $1000 added pot. Jason Richko would prove to be the man to beat, making his way to the hotseat with wins over Rick Gatta, Scott Howard, Chip Dickerson, Glen Miller, Dan Dennis and then a close battle with Bill Dunsmore 7-6 to take the hotseat. While all this was going on, Mike Xiarhos Snr was taking names on the one loss side. After taking a second round loss to Mark Wathen, Xiarhos would make his way to the final with wins over Dave Adams, Eddie Wheat, Stephanie Mitchell, Garry Blatt, Bill Delisle, a revenge match over Mark Wathen, Dan Dennis, Josh Palmer and then a semi final win over Bill Dunsmore to reach the final to play Richko. Xiarhos would come out firing in the final and take a 5-0 lead. Richko, who trailed the whole match, would come back to tie it up at 7-7 and take the last rack after several safety exchanges, giving him his first KF title.
Tony Crosby and Tommy Kennedy
Sunday's $1000 added Open event also had a $1000 bonus going to the winner to help offset the expenses for the Predator international 10-ball event that would take place in Spain early January. A very strong 29 player field showed up with the likes of Rafael Martinez, Mike Davis, Robb Saez, Tommy Kennedy and Tony Crosby.
Mike Xiarhos and Jason Richko
Louis Altes was looking very strong on the day with wins over Rafael Martinez 7-6, Mike Davis 7-5, Tony Crosby 7-6, and Josh Palmer 7-3, before losing a very close match 7-6 to Kennedy for the hotseat. After taking a loss to Louis Altes, Tony Crosby was looking to try and book his trip to Spain with wins over Dan Dennis 7-4, Robb Saez 7-4, Bill Dunsmore 7-2, Mike Delawder 7-5 and then a strong revenge win over Louis Altes 7-0 to set up a final with Kennedy. The final would go right to the wire with both players playing great pool. With the score tied at 8-8, Kennedy would break the balls and, just when it looked like it was all over, would hang a tough four ball leaving Crosby to run out to take his first title of the season and book his trip to Spain with the extra $1000 bonus.
We would like to thank Hammerheads Billiards lounge and their staff for hosting another great weekend of pool, as well as our sponsors, which can be seen at www.kfcuetour.com, along with the schedule for the New Year. We hope everybody has a happy and safe holidays. Merry Christmas from the KF Cue Tour.
