The Peach City Open fired up yesterday @ Chalk It Up Billiards in La Grange, GA for a $3500 Added Guaranteed bar table extravaganza. There was a stellar field of 48 players that opted to come to GA for top payout of $1500. Some of the best bar table players in the south that are in contention are Larry Nevel, Shannon Daulton, Johnathan Hennessee, Randy Vaughn, Sparky Ferrell, Jesse Middlebrook, last weeks champion Randy Jordan, Billy Peay, Doug Young, Paul Turner, Stoney Stone, & Josh Roberts.

Day one was full of surprises sending some of the champs to the one-loss side. Jesse Middlebrook matched up with Michael Newsome in round 2 and Newsome proved he was worthy of the win by a score of 9-6.
Tour director Shannon Daulton faced off with Florence native Jason Heyward, who ran through him easily by a score of 9-4.

We played all day and throughout the night leaving us with 16 players returning on Sunday.

The match ups on Sunday were as follows:

Winners side:

Jeff Jordan / Billy Peay
Peay 9-2

Sparky Ferrell / Larry Nevel
Nevel 9-4

Randy Vaughn / Randy Jordan
Vaughn 9-6

Hennessee / Eddie Little
Hennessee 9-2

One loss:

Wayne Collins / Billy Holmes
Holmes 9-4

Josh Roberts / George Rothrock
Roberts 9-4

Stoney Stone / Jesse Middlebrook
Stone 9-8
This was an especially good match. Middlebrook, ahead 8-4, missed a ball leaving Stone a way to escape as winner as Middlebrook didn't get back to the table. Final score 9-8!! Exciting!!!!

Jason Heyward / Doug Young
Heyward 9-8
After trading games throughout the match, a missed 8 ball when the score was double hill ended Young's hopes at being The Peach City Open champ.

As the day progressed on Sunday, tough matches continued to be played.

This has been one GREAT tournament!!! Chalk It Up Billiards has been packed all weekend w/ ACTION, poker, & pool! We have had a great time and the staff of the pool hall have been so courteous. It's room owners like Darryl that love pool and try to make it better for the players that keep pool alive. I wish there were more that were just like him!!

4 ladies played for FREE!! Rayanne Harvala won the top prize - $50. Congrats to her! Also, we had 6 military players that played FREE and 5 seniors that played for half price. Darryl (the room owner) ended up adding $3600 and TD Shannon Daulton threw in an extra $50 to the already great pay out. Also, offered was an extra $200 to any player that ran out the set from their first shot. With the calibur of players we had I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't happen.
