Out Deueling The Competition

With a very strong field of 47 players, the 2010 Seminole Pro Tour continued at Diamond Billiards in Cape Coral, FL on August 14th & 15th with $7,000 added.  The draw turned out a few great matches on the opening round such as Robb Saez versus Corey Deuel and Tony Crosby against Shane Van Boening. 

Deuel and Saez started things off with an exciting match-up.  Deuel claimed an early lead. But despite Saez’s best efforts and sinking of some impressive shots, it was not enough to overcome Deuel as he took the match 7-3.

Shane Slays the Competition

The Seminole Pro Tour continued its 2010 season with a stop at the Marietta Billiard Club in Marietta Georgia for the Gem City Classic July 9th through 11th.  All of this year’s Tour winners, Johnny Archer (Mr. Cues II); Stevie Moore (Bankshots); Rodney Morris (Hollywood Billiards); and Donny Mills (Capone’s), tried to be the first repeat champion of the 2010 Tour.  The past winners would have to get past a very loaded field of 64 players to try and stake their claim on the $20,000 guaranteed prize fund.  The field included the regular Tour players such as Mike Davis, James Roberts, Hunter Lombardo, Charlie Williams, Corey Deuel, Tony Crosby and Tommy Kennedy as well as some new players to this year’s Tour, Nick Varner, Alex Smith, Shaun Wilkie, Allison Fisher, Mike Dechaine and Shane Van Boening.

Not Your Run of the "Mills" Tour Stop

The 2010 Seminole Pro Tour returned to a familiar location this past weekend, Capone’s Billiards, in Spring Hill, FL.  The field of 49 players was as strong a field as the previous tour stops this season.  Several local players participated for the first time on this year’s tour and of course there were the usual Pro Tour veterans that made their appearances in the bracket.

Several hill-hill matches highlighted the tournament and kept all the spectators on the edge of their seats throughout the weekend.  Newcomers took over the east side of the bracket for most of the tournament, but the skilled veterans, with their backs against the wall and no room for error on the left side of the bracket, showed their prowess and ended up in the money.
