The $1000 added open event would draw a small but strong 25 man field, with the likes of Mike Davis, Richey Richeson, Butch Croft, James Roberts and Mark Coats to mention a few. Mike Davis would once again prove to be the man to beat as he made his way through to the hotseat with wins over Jessica Barnes 7-1, James Roberts 7-6, Dan Whitten 7-1 and then a hard fought 7-6 win over Butch Croft 7-6 to take the hotseat. The one loss side would see Tony Crosby make a charge after a 1st round loss to Richey Richeson, Crosby would go onto defeat Nick Prouty, Lee Holland, Richie Richeson, Dan Whitten and James Roberts before running into Butch Croft who would stop his run with a strong 7-3 win to leave Crosby in 3rd and set up a final rematch with Davis.
The final would be another chance for Croft to try and gain his first title on tour his only problem was that Davis had been playing solid pool all day and the final would be no different with Davis coming out on top with a 7-3 win to take his 3rd title of the season and leave Croft still seeking his 1st.
