Martin Daigle, Brick House Billiards General Manager Chloe Romanyk and Nick Charette
As the old adage goes, the first time doing something is the biggest challenge, and it’s supposed to be easier after you have proven that you can do it. That is apparently the case for Nick Charette as he won his first career Joss NE 9-Ball Tour stop a month ago in Amsterdam, NY and now he has added his second title on March 18 – 19 at Brick House Billiards in Syracuse, NY.
Charette ran through Saturday undefeated, with wins over Andrea Duvall, Demian Provost and Tom Cayer. Charette kicked off his Sunday with a 9-6 win over Nate Marshall to get to the hot-seat match against Ron Casanzio. Charette’s aforementioned win back in February was earned by defeating Casanzio in the finals. Just like winning events, apparently Charette just needed to do it once and he was set, as he defeated Casanzio for the hot-seat this time 9-7.
Casanzio would not get another shot at Charette on this weekend, as he then dropped the semi-final match to Martin Daigle. The win over Casanzio was Daigle’s fifth straight win on the left side of the board, and he extended that streak to six matches with a 9-3 win over Charette in the first set of the double elimination finals. The deciding second set of the finals came down to hill-hill, with both players missing what could have been the case 9-ball, before Charette finally pocketed the elusive ball for his second career Joss Tour title.
Sunday’s second chance tournament saw Dan Sharlow drop the hot-seat match to Aaron Greenwood, before coming back to double dip Greenwood in the finals 3-0 and 3-1 for the tournament win.
The Joss NE 9-Ball Tour is back in action this weekend with another $1500/$500 added event at Yale Billiards in Wallingford, CT.
