With 10% of the entry fees from the season and $500 added by Tony’s Billiards to the total prize fund, and another huge Calcutta, the stakes were high for everyone competing.
Congratulations to Ken Stutz for his 1st Place Finish, and to Derrick Claus for placing 2nd.

Derrick started the day off strong, beating Rob Brandenburg in the 1st round, and proceeding to go through the Winner’s side undefeated, competing against Rick Hutchings, Stuart MacTaggart, Pod Shognosh and Ken Stutz, where he sat in the A Side Finals, waiting for his final opponent…
Ken also had a strong day, 1st defeating Dan Devos, and continued through the Winners side playing Neil Mills, Brittany Bryant and Paul Duell, where he finally was sent to the B Side by Derrick Claus..Ken played and defeated Pod Shognosh on the B Side to come back to play the finals against Claus..where he got his revenge and defeated him for the title.
