I'm in Beaumont,TX, and used to go to those tournaments. The place is called Winner's Choice (337-882-1405). I haven't been in awhile, but would guess they are still going on. The guys name who runs them is Gary Medellin(sp?). It's usually 8-ball, but sometimes(maybe once a month) it's 9-ball. They play on 7-footers(coin tables) and add $500. The entry fee was only $5 last time I was there. The place has video poker on one side and pool tables on the other. The also had a calcutta when I was there.
