Thorsten Hohmann has won the Turning Stone Classic VI at Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY.
Hohmann took the hot-seat earlier Sunday with a 9-5 win over Keith McCready who had notable wins over Danny Basavich and Mika Immonen on his way to the match. McCready bounced back with a strong 9-5 win over Ralf Souquet on the one loss side to earn the rematch with Hohmann.
The final race to thirteen match started close with the score tied at 1-1, 2-2 and 3-3 before Hohmann pulled ahead by two games at 5-3. It was then that Hohmann took control of the match and started playing the dominating pool that he is known for. Hohmann turned up the heat on McCready and cruised to a 13-3 win for the tournament victory.
Hohmann earned $8000 for first place, while McCready settled for $5260 in second place prize money. Ralf Souquet and Samuel 'Sparky' Ferrell filled out the top four places. Tour director Mike Zuglan announced at the event that the Turning Stone Classic VII will take place August 17th-20th and will be another $25,000 added event.
