Midwest Bar Table Classic, ran by Mac Ashby at the Brickyard Billiards in Indianapolis, was won by Tom McCluskey. It was a top flight field again, and maybe the strongest since moving to Indy. Tom came back from the loser's side to beat Jesse Bowman twice. Other notable players were Glenn Atwell, Dee Adkins, Brian Groce, Brian Gregg, Richie Richeson, Shannon Murphy, Shane Winters, Tommy Tokoph, Tim Heath, Gary Lutman, Denver Barger and probably 10 other guys who are capable of winning this tourney with the race to 9, loser break format. 64 players, and Brian Groce running the calcutta. Total payout of the first calcutta, was over $12,000. With $4300 for first, plus $1500 from tourney {around $700 2nd cal.} = $6500 for first place. 2nd place took $3845 I think. Great shooting guys, and another great job Mac.
Congrats Tom McCluskey

Scratching on the break, hill-hill, second set KILLED Jesse. It went down to the wire for sure. Double dippin is becoming a regular thing around the midwest lately. The hotseat is no longer safe!! LOL
Great Job Tom. Your a bad man.....
Every time I'm in a tourny that your in and don't have to play you I feel relieved.
As long as the other guy hasn't won the last game you are one pool player that can still get it done.
Tough tourny, Great job my friend
Geno............

thank you
thanks everyone for the kind words, just to clear it up, jesse didn't scratch on the break, he broke dry on the hill and the second set was a race to seven. I definately got more than my share of good rolls this weekend, especially in the finals. thank you again. Tom
