2nd Annual DogsPlayingPool Invitational Results:
The 2011 DPP Invitational is in the books. I want to thank everyone for participating because without all of you, even though I would have won, it would have been a hollow victory.
A special congratulations to the money winners. In the spirit of a true professional event they received empty promises of being mailed post-dated checks in the following amounts:
Winner - 8ballEinstein $140
Finalist* - TATE $ 80
3rd - sponge bob $ 50
4th - metsownyou $ 30
*Jay Helfert, who had a booth at the event, actually tied for second place money because he sold 2 books and a couple of shirts.
This picture, believe it or not taken BEFORE the tournament started, captured what turned out to be the top ten finishers:
From left to right: DogsPlayingPool, rick9005, metsownyou, AuntyDan, Jay Helfert, i4pool, 8ballEinstein, poolhustler, sponge bob, TATE.
Here's the winner, 8ballEinstein, who resembled more of a 9balldaVinci, and proving to all the new players to the game that practice is truly over-rated, receiving his just rewards:
And one of the other finalist, our beloved TATE:
One very special mention is needed. I think I speak for everyone in thanking Jay for bringing Maki (shown here in the players lounge):

Really guys, I want to thank you all for a great time. It was a lot of fun for me and I appreciate everyone coming.
One more thing: Get well soon, Monte!!!! We missed you!
