The $1700 Added KF Cue Tour Event was at Strokers 2 Tampa, Florida
11th/12th April. The $1000 Open event kicked of with some very strong players
in the field, Charlie Williams, Ronnie Wiseman, Richard Broumpton, Tony
Crosby, James Roberts, Jason Richko, and Richie Richeson, just to mention a
few. Williams, who won the last event in Orlando, was looking strong making
his way to the finals with wins over Ronnie Wiseman 9-6, Tony Crosby 9-8, and
Dan Lavoie 9-5. This would put him up against another Orlando player, Adam
Wheeler, for the hotseat match. Wheeler made his way there with impressive
wins over Jason Richko 9-4, top WPBA player Yu Ram Cha 9-7, and Richie
Richeson 9-8. Williams would take the hotseat match with a hard fought 9-6
win.
2nd Richie Richeson, Room Owner Jose Delrio, 1st Charlie
Williams
Richie Richeson would fight his way back through the one loss side with
wins over Richard Broumpton 7-2, Ronnie Wiseman 7-1 and Adam Wheeler 7-5 to
put him in the final against Charlie Williams. Williams came out of the gates
strong in the final and made Richeson pay for every mistake he made to take a
6-0 lead. The next few racks were traded, with Williams looking like he was
going to see an easy win as he go to the hill 9-3. A few mistakes by Williams
allowed Richeson to gain momentum and claw back with a 9-7 score, but that
would be as close as he would get as Williams ran his way through a very
tricky rack to take match and his 2nd event in a row.
Payouts
1st, Charlie Williams $650
2nd, Richie Richeson $450
3rd, Adam Wheeler $300
4th, Ronnie Wiseman $200
5th/6th, Dan Lavoie & Richard Broumpton $100
The $700 Added Amateur event would kick of with 26 players. Bobby Moore,
who had also won the last event in Orlando, would prove again to be the man to
beat on the day. He would make his way to the hotseat match with wins over
Valerie Dukich 7-1, Room Owner Jose Del Rio 7-4, and Road Partner Albert
Howe 7-5 before taking a loss in the hotseat match to Jesse Langston from
Orlando. Langston had made his way to the hotseat with wins over Taz Naravane
7-0, Jimmy Bird 7-6, tour points leader Mark Wathen 7-3 and Bobby Moore 7-3.
Bobby Moore & Jesse Langston
The one loss side would see Jarred Schlauch making his way through the
field with wins over Mike Delawder 5-2, Jimmy Bird 5-3, Albert Howe 5-2, and
Mark Wathen 5-4. He would now face Moore. Moore would take this match 5-4 and
got his rematch with Langston.
The final was a very cagey affair with both players trading racks. Langston
would get to the hill first with an 8-5 lead but several missed opportunities
would see Moore claw his way back and tie the match 8-8. The final rack would
see both players missing balls, and just when it looked like it was all over,
Langston missed a tricky 8 ball leaving Moore to take the match and his 2nd
event in a row.
Payouts
1st, Bobby Moore $460
2nd, Jesse Langston $300
3rd, Jarred Schlauch $225
4th, Mark Wathen $130
5th/6th, Albert Howe & Jose Delrio $70
