Pooky Rasmeloungon emerged from an all-star field to win the Seminole Florida Pro Tour stop at Capones Billiards in Spring Hill, Florida.
As is the case with most Florida Pro Tour events, the field for this one was packed with talent including Rodney Morris, Buddy Hall, Charlie Williams, John Schmidt, Tommy Kennedy and Troy Frank. As strong as the field was, it was Neil Fujiwara who earned a hill-hill win over Pooky Rasmeloungon for the hot-seat. Rasmeloungon had the hot-seat in his sites with a miscue on the 8-ball gave the case game to Fujiwara.
Rasmeloungon bounced back with a dominating 8-4 win over Robb Saez on the one-loss side to earn another shot at Fujiwara in the finals.
The finals were almost as close as the first set, but this time it was Rasmeloungon scoring a 9-7 win for first place.
Rasmleoungon earned $4000 for first, while Fujiwara took home $2000 for second place. Saez and Troy Frank filled out the top four spots.
The Seminole Florida Pro Tour will be at Player's Billiard Club in Melbourne, Fl on May 7th-8th for their next event.
