Robb Saez with Mika Immonen
On one of the most beautiful weekends of fall, Mike Zuglan brought his Joss Northeast Tour into Glens Falls, NY for a $1500 added tournament at Adirondack Billiards. Host Joe Stanislowsky and Bob Talbot added the money and 41 players showed. Competition was great and the great fans got to see some great pool.
In front of packed house on both days play was exciting and surprising on both days. Players like Jim Rempe, Santos Sambajon and Edgar Acaba were knocked out early in some great matches. Going through the first day unscathed were Mike Davis, Robb Saez, Mike Zuglan and Canadian Ray Cruz. On the one loss side we had Chuck Altomare vs Ryan McCreesh, Jack Smith vs Lee French.
Mike Davis came out firing and beat Saez in their first match and then beat Ray Cruz to go to the hot seat. Cruz had just beat Zuglan 9-3 and was playing great when he and Davis went to the hill. Both players in the hill match missed key shots and when Cruz tried to cut a seven ball the length of the table he jawed it and Davis won. Robbie Saez went through the one loss side Beating McCreesh on the hill, then Mike Zuglan and Ray Cruz. In the finals Mr. Saez was not to be denied. Winning both sets he took home the beautiful trophy and the cash.
Thanks to Adirondack Billiards and their staff. We look forward to returning again next year for another great event.
