The mini qualifier was held this past Saturday, Feb. 4.
It was won by Tony Ruberto, who beat Gary Abood in the semis to take the hot seat, and again in the final match. Tony played very strong, breaking and running 3 or 4 of the games in the Race to 5 final set. The score was either 5-1 or 5-0.
Ruberto really showed his skill considering that Abood beat McCready several weeks ago in the RI State Championship (in 9-ball).
