Matt Krah, Frankie Hernandez and Michael Wong
Michael Wong and Matt Krah opted out of a final match, and shared the championship title of the Sunday, June 23 stop on the Mezz Pro-Am Tour. The event, which drew a strong field of competitors, including Dennis Spears, Frankie Hernandez, Mike Miller, Travis McKinney and Joey Landi, was hosted by Sandcastle Billiards in Edison, NJ.
Krah advanced to the hot seat match with victories over Anthony Cassaro 7-3, Ed Culhane 7-3, and Dennis Spears 7-5. Wong moved up to meet him, defeating Wali Muhammad 7-3, Travis McKinney 7-5, and Frankie Hernandez 7-2.
Wong pulled away late to win the hot seat battle 7-5, sending Krah to the semifinals. Waiting for Krah was Frankie Hernandez, who'd just dropped Dennis Spears into fourth place. Krah defeated Hernandez 6-2 for a second chance against Wong, but the two decided against a final match, splitting the top prizes.
