Billy is getting 8/7 racing to 21, the same way they played two weeks ago at Bayou Billiards in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with 40k in the middle.
Billy had a convincing 21-6 victory.
Tony gave Billy his congrats on the win but immediately called for a rematch, with the only adjustment being that they raise the wager and play at Buffalo's in New Orleans

Good news Buffalo's Billiards has a new addition.
Buffalo's 2 will be open in time for the event, making 18 9-foot Diamond tables available and expanding the field to take more than 32 players this year.

The legendary "Magician" Efren Reyes!!
Buffalo's Pro Classic May 21-26
The World Famous Buffalo's Billiards in New Orleans

I think Efren still has some one-pocket magic left in his cue stick, even at his age.
He had a top-three finish at the Derby City Classic one-pocket division within the last couple of years.

This is a majorly cool event.

I went three years ago (mid COVID) and will be flying in to sweat it again this year to sit ring side. That I will also get the chance to enjoy some New Orleans cuisine for a few days is a first class bump. If you're looking for something to do -- poolwise -- you can do no better than this event.
