Fast Breaks in Orlando, FL was the latest venue to host the KF Cue Tour this past weekend. Saturday would see 62 Amateur players show up for a piece of the $2680 pot. Louis Altes would prove why he is considered a high level Amateur player by going through the 62 man field undefeated to take his first KF Title. Altese had to play good as he had to play the best players on tour in every round with wins over Jason Richko 7-4, Wesley White 7-6, Mike Delawder 7-6, Dan Lettau 7-5, and Jerry Troy 7-5, to put him in the winner side final to play Travis Moore. Moore made his way to the finals with wins over Lincoln Seiffert 7-6, Tony O Donnell 7-6, Jesse Bradley 7-5, Brian McBride 7-3 and Glen Olson 7-4 to put him up against Altese for the hotseat. Altese would manage to squeak this one out to capture the hotseat with a 7-6 win.
While all this was going on, Dustin Morris from Minnesota, was a man on a mission after taking a 2nd round loss to Brian McBride 7-2. Morris would plough his way through the one loss side with wins over Josh Lewis 5-1, Dan Dennis 5-1, Mike Delawder 5-4, Joe Scarborough 5-0, Carlos Torres 5-0, Richard Murray 5-2, Jerry Troy 5-3, Glen Olson 6-5 and Travis Moore to put him in the final to play Louis Altese.
With both players playing great pool on the weekend the final would be no different. The final would be a single race to 8 and would go all the way to the last rack with Louis Altese coming out an 8-7 winner to take his first KF win and leave Morris in 2nd in his first event.

Open Event - 2nd Mike Delawder, Room Owner Ted Lepak, 1st Julio Aquino
Sunday's $1000 Added Open event kicked off with a strong 36 player field. Julio Aquino, who had never won an open event before but was named player of the year on the tours previous season, would now add Open winner to his title list. Aquino would make his way to the hotseat with wins over Miguel Pabon 7-5, Enzo Mangiapane 7-2, Louis Viera 7-3 and a tough 7-6 win over Tommy Kennedy to put him in the winner side final. Mike Delawder, another player who has been working hard on his game, would make his way to the winner side final with wins over Johnny Lange 7-3, Josh Lewis 7-5, Mike Davis 7-4 and Louis Altese 7-6 before taking a loss to Julio Aquino for the hotseat 7-4.
On the one loss side, tour Director Tony Crosby, who had taken a 2nd round loss to Wesley White 7-6, was working his way through the one loss side with wins over Dave Ross 6-5, George Saunders 6-3, Louis Viera 6-0, Justin Hall 6-4, Louis Altes 6-3 and a hill-hill win over Mike Davis 6-5 before running into Mike Delawder, who stopped his run with a 6-2 win to leave Crosby in 3rd. The final was very exciting with both players looking to record there first win, and both players playing out of Fast Breaks in Orlando. Aquino would come out of the gate firing, taking a 4-0 lead and then an 8-3 lead, to leave himself one rack from the title in this race to 9. Delawder was not looking to give up easy as he would grind out the next 5 racks, which is not easy with the alternate break format, to tie the match at 8-8 and set up a one rack decider for the Title. Aquino, who had lost the last 5 racks, would now have one more chance due to winning the coin flip. He broke and ran the last rack to take his first KF title and the first place trophy.

The tour would like to thank Fast Breaks and there staff for a great weekend of pool and all our sponsors, who can be seen at www.kfcuetour.com. Our next event will be at Strokers 2 in Tampa, Florida on March 13th-14th. We also had to change the date of the Ultimate Billiards event in April, which is now being held on 17th-18th of April, due to a conflict with the Seminole Pro tour.
