Local favorites Donnie Seagraves Jr and John Stallings flexed their pool playing muscle and went through Saturday play undefeated. Sunday morning saw there two face off against each other and Seagraves came out on top 9-8. Next up for Seagraves was Larry Jackson who fell 9-2 sending Seagraves to the hot-seat.
On the one loss side Jackson found Stallings waiting after wins over Liel Gay and Mike Staubes. Stallings scored a 9-5 win over Jackson to earn another shot at Seagraves in the finals. Any momentum that Stallings had going into the finals was quickly shut down as Seagraves cruised to a 9-3 victory.
