TULSA, OK - Hall of Famer Allison Fisher owns more pro titles than any woman pool player in the history of the sport, but hasn't won a major on US soil since March, 2008 (San Diego Classic). So long time Allison fans were only cautiously optimistic when she faced off against pro tour newcomer Erica Park of Korea in today's first semifinal bout.
It was Erica who drew first blood in the race to seven, but Allison answered back and the score was knotted at 1-1 and 2-2. It looked like it would be another close session.
But then Allison began doing what Allison has been known to do best: WIN. She put on a display of near-perfect pool as she won the next five games straight to take the match and seal herself a spot in the finals.
Next up, Jasmin Ouschan vs. defending champ Ga Young Kim!
