Nice finish by Chip "The Best Hair in Pool" Compton and his road dawg Joey. Hope they bought a good piece of themselves in the auctions. It is good to Jesse out playing as well. I hope he makes it to Vegas.
not woofing, but what i post on this site is true. jesse bowman was at my tournament (white diamond billiards) and the rail is open on that one$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
thanks!
And I appreciate you mentioning that Calcutta was involved in the $43K. A great Calcutta no doubt but unless you are getting 10-1 on your money for first, the Calcutta is not a wise investment.
If I'm not mistaken Chip had all of his and Joey had half of his.
Chip's hair looks like he just rolled out of bed. lol
thanks juice,we appreciate all the good comments and we love having you and everyone at our tournament. thanks ashleyYou do not have to worry about those guys buying half thereself. They have done it at both tournaments and I have had one or the other at both tournaments. Chip had all of himself and Joey had half of himself. Congrats to both of them they are both great guys and play extremely hard for the cash and in the tournament.
Hell yah he was and was definitely the most impressive player I have ever seen on a bar table. That is for sure! I should of had him in the calcutta but you see when you try to make a deal with someone and think they are going to be honest and hold there side of the deal and they do not then stab the knife right in the back of you this is what happens. I have no hard feelings cause is my own fault for being around the pool hall as long as I have to trust someone in the pool hall. Do not worry next time if Jesse is there will be no deals just who has the nuts and wants to spend the cash for the first pick.
Jesse got a little over than 5-1. He went for $1800.00. I will tell everyone on this site if you want to come to a great bar table tournament come to this one. This tournamnet is ran great no bull sh*t or worrying about people taking money out of the tournament. Chris adds money to the tournament more than just one way. If you are someone like me that plays horrible and likes to gamble by buying players in the calcutta, betting on good players, or betting on the side of matches in the tournament or gambling well my friend you need to come down to White Diamonds in Lafayette. This tournament is my favorite for sure! Thanks Chris and Ashley for once again putting on a great tournament and having everything a fat guy needs, a great kitchen with great food in the pool hall!
If I call someone a liar - it will be very clear and they will know it.
What was the tournament payouts without the calcutta
Thanks trigger but I think we are dealing with someone that is trying to turn my confusion (which I clearly posted the reason why I had it and WAS NOT ACCUSING ANYONE OF ANYTHING) into more of a comprehension issue on their part along with trying to create some sort of drama. I could care the fvck less who was at their tournament - it just didnt make sense until SOMEONE clarified the dates of the Iowa tournament.
<--I actually READ what other people post.

hey josh, the guy you played the 2nd round was jacob pennison. he is from houma, la. cuenga is good friends with him and he could give you the phone number!!see you later, ashley
Yea it was nice to meet you Juice. Didnt think I would see a fellow GTO(Even though we both sold ours) owner there.
Chris and Ashley, GREAT job all weekend! It was tuff for both of yall and the staff with those long hours!(AWESOME Food BTW) 16 hours Saturday was BRUTAL! Chris also did a great job with the calcutta!
It was my first BIG tourny and im looking foreward too coming again in a few months! Im sure everyone that was from Gonzales will come back again as well. It was nice meeting some of the big name players that were there, and most everyone got along very well.
Hey I was a couple days past on my hair cut due to getting there on time for this event. I had super long spikes. lol
Chips hair looks good. A little like he just rolled out of bed though but looks fine. lol
I got my hair cut today, Gonna shave tomorrow and then I'll be lookin smooth. hehe
Thanks,
Josh Hillard
I was just giving you a hard time. You played a good tournament and played good against my buddy Parker.
Parker seemed like a cool cat to me. See you guys next time.
That is so true Stoney. I wish more people would understand that. Some people who run like "god" get that mentality they never can lose, and when they do lose, all hell breaks loose in their little head. I really feel if more better players can accept a loss in a positive way, then they will be even a stronger shooter over time. Basically, all it comes down to is molding your experience into a bigger and brighter picture. And the money is just extra for such hard work.
- This tournament was very nice, and I can't wait till the next one. Please post when date is confirmed.
+1! We are going to book our rooms and spots ASAP
