Ride The Rail Billiards 16th Annual Classic Thanksgiving Weekend - Saint Louis, MO
- Thread starter Woof
- Start date
Fifty something players
Closer to 60 but it seemed to be a strong field, including Boucher, Allison, Tattoo John, Dawayne Pearson, Curtis Froncheck and many other good players.
I did not see or meet StlJohnny. I did manage to buy a couple of the players after Larry got done out bidding me on the 1st few picks, You have to figure winner break means best player wins.
In my opinion Boucher and Allison, but I went with a dark horse.
Dawayne Pearson. I guess we will know tomorrow.:sorry:
Fast approaching. Should be a decent turn out.

Nice to meet you then.
Now I know who you are, I bought Jesse Bowman for 500 and he did not buy half himself. No effect on me, then on Sunday the owner of the bar sent me a money order for 900, since he ended up going undefeated.
Thanks for buying half, there goes a bucket of beer. There is a C tournament tomorrow.
Sorry your other dark horse didn't work out too well for youI'm guessing you're the gentleman who bought me sight unseen. At least you were able to get rid of 1/2 of it :thumbup:

Yeah, I got caught up doing some other things today and didn't become available until nearly 6; at that point it was too late to enter and I was kinda pissed about it. Sat on the couch playing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood instead. heh. I might make it out tomorrow for the finals though. Glad to hear there was a strong showing! Andy Quin wasn't there?
Rtr
Andy was there for a bit. He tried to get a ring game goin. Not to many guys interested.

I wanted to make it out, but I had to finish my last day of work at the Break. How is the tournament going?
Yes, starting tomorrow. Anyone know who won?
Where you at now? Brendens?
Well I went back to the Rail to see who was left in the tournament after I finished sweating the stinking Rams hang on for a victory.
4th Place John Tattoo Snyder T 100 C100
3rd Place Dawayne Pearson T 200 C 200
1st Place Brian Daniels T 1000 C350
2nd place Steve Boucher T400 C705
I left after my horse Dawayne got thoroughly beat by Brian Harris, who for all the players I know in the Midwest this local kid plays pretty solid, but has a tough task to complete double dipping Steve Boucher
My other horse Curtis Froncheck made it to Sunday and was given $25 for gas to get back home after Tattoo John made quick work of him.
The finals of the winners bracket saw Steve Boucher jump up to a 5-0 start over Dawayne, then 7-2 until Dawayne made one hell of a come back making it 7-6, then that game became a game of cat and mouse with Dawayne ending up the mouse. 8-6, Dawayne won the next game making it 8-7, broke blasted the balls up good and pocketed 3 balls, one of which was whitey. Boucher with ball in hand, 7 ball spread wide open.
9-7 Boucher to the hot seat.
Meanwhile Brian Daniels had been chopping his way through the losers bracket in dead stroke and playing jam up one pocket defensive shots when he could not get out against both Tattoo and Dawayne.
Brendan Sullivan meanwhile, won the C player tourney which had 20 players, with the main event having 57. Andy Quinn stopped back in but I think Larry paid him for an appearance fee for showing up both days, since no one wanted any of him.
Another good tournament at the rail. I ended up making a profit, but was counting my cash just a bit early, then Harris did what I mentioned above, it was pretty much 5-0 before Dawayne got a shot.
BRUTAL... Nice event. 1700 for 1st place if you had yourself in the auction.
25 entry plus quarters = $1000 for the winner not a bad weekend. Plus the auction if you had 1/2 you got another 350
Boucher #1 blind bid $160
Daniels bargain buy for 50 4th place John Snyder $20

Brian Daniels
Brian beat Tatoo John then walked thru Dawayne Pearson, Then beat Steve Boucher 1st 9-7maybe? He was up pretty big in 2nd set but Steve came back and snapped a 9 to take it hill/hill . Brian won after passing on a 1-10 combo he shot the one, two and then just off shape a bit fired the three -10.

Hey I started a new job today as well. hehe Part of the reason why I didn't make it to the rail on Sunday - had to be responsible and not stay out late. :/
Congrats on the new job
I heard there was an opening at the break due to Jean Starkweather getting a new job I did not know you got the slot at the break.
Good job.
