Mhet Vergara and Jeremy Sossei with Raxx room owner Holden Chin
Jeremy Sossei scored back to back wins over Mhet Vergara to earn first place at the Joss NE 9-Ball Tour stop at Raxx Pool Room in West Hempstead, NY on May 6th – 7th.
Sossei had Saturday wins over Jim McManus, Dan Shawlow, Max Watanabe and Tom Zippler, while Vergara got past Ricky Motilal, Mike Salerno and Pat Fleming on Saturday.
Sunday started for Sossei and Vergara with a matchup for the hot-seat, which Sossei won 9-5.
On the one loss side, Sunday kicked off with Zippler defeating Mike Yednak and Fleming beating Watanabe. Zippler then eliminated Fleming in 4th place with a 7-5 scoreline. Zippler dropped the semi-final match to Vergara 7-4, setting up the rematch with Sossei in the finals.
Unfortunately for Vergara, he didn’t have any more answers as to how to beat Sossei in the finals, as Sossei took the first set 9-4 for first place.
In Sunday’s second chance event, Mike Salerno took the hot-seat with a hill-hill win over Dan Sharlow and then eliminated Sharlow in the first set of the finals, with another hill-hill victory, for first place.
The Joss NE 9-Ball Tour will be back in action this weekend, for another $1500/$500 added event at Amazin Billiards in Malden, Massachusetts.
