Stroker's II Tampa, Fl was the host venue for this weekend's $1700 Added KF Cue Tour event. In the Open Event, the day kicked off with 31 of Florida's finest players including names such as, Neil Fujiwara, Josh Degler, Jason Richko, Josh Lewis, Richie Richeson, Han Berber, Julio Aquino, Tony Crosby and many more. This would make for a very exciting day of fine play. It was Trevor Braymore on this day, showing why he is still classed as one of the top players in the Tampa Bay area, going through to the finals with wins against Jarred Schlauch 7-4, Mike Destefano 7-5, Tony Pete 7-1, Jason Richko 7-5, and Richie Richeson 7-5 to take the hot seat.
High level player Dave Ross would have a great day playing as well, with wins over Jimmie Hines 7-5, Travis Croft 7-3, Tony Crosby 7-5, and Tony Pete 7-4. However, Dave ended his winning streak with a 7-4 loss to Josh Lewis.
We welcomed Richie Richeson back to Florida, and he proved to be playing some great pool as he stormed through the field with 3 7-0 matches not dropping a game. After a long day of high level pool, Trevor bested him in the final at 9-5. Congratulations to both Trevor Braymore 1st place and Richie Richeson 2nd place.
On Sunday, the $700 Added Amateur Event brought out 63 players. Albert Howe was in great form as he battled through the field of players to take another KF Cue Tour win. The field consisted of 63 great amateur players all looking for a win today -players such as Adam Wheeler, Bobby Moore, Jimmy Bird, Jarred Schlaugh, Casey Grove, Trey Jankowski, Ted Lepak, Elvis Rodriquez, Jason Richko, Justin Logan and so much more talent.
