1st place Richie Richeson was the mini event winner. He came from the one loss side after being defeated by Tony Chohan 7-5. Wins for Richeson after that included, Juan Garcia 7-2, Arlo Walsman 7-4, Adam Smith 7-4, Neil Dryfhout 7-2, Tony Chohan 7-4 then Richeson went on to defeat Mark Ozman twice in the finals to take the event title. This was no easy event to win even with a field of 40, the majority of the players were very tough competetors.
2nd place Mark Ozman was our second place finisher! Ozman is a local player and showed a level of play throughout Friday evening that many of the locals have never seen from him before. Ozman had defeats over: bye, Mike Masters 7-3, John Skofic 7-1, Jason Kirkwood 7-4, Adam Smith 7-5 then Tony Chohan 7-1 WOW this moved Ozman into the chair undefeated!! The final match of the mini was played out Saturday at Noon and a different Ozman showed up to this final match and found it very difficult to keep up the pace with Richeson in either set losing the first set 7-3 and the final set 7-1. Congrats to Mark Ozman for a terrifc event and some great play!
3rd place Tony Chohan came into the event as one of the favorites to win both the mini and the main. Chohan settled for 3rd place in the mini after Mark Ozman, a local player found a gear that would knock Chohan into the one loss side and kept him in his seat for most of the set. Chohan had little chance to take out the on fire Ozman! Richeson struck the final blow defeating Chohan 7-4 and Chohan had to settle for 3rd place in this event! Chohans record througout the event was: defeating bye, Chris Lawsen 7-6, Russ Andrews 7-5, Richie Richeson 7-5, Neil Dryfhout 7-4 then was defeated by Mark Ozman 7-1 and defeated by Richie Richeson 7-4.

We had some great talent show up for this event!!
We had a field of 26 players and paid out through 5-6 places.
The main event winner was Arlo Walsman! Arlo showed some great play and heart coming throught his field. Arlo came from the 1 loss side to defeat Tony Chohan twice to take the championship!! It was a great match up and Arlo not only played very well but also showed that when a player is hot, there is little you can do to combat it! Chohan sat in his chair waiting for the rolls to change and going into the 2nd set, he was still waiting. The rolls continued to go in Walsmans favor and he also continued his almost flawless level of play. Chohan had little chance to get to the table with a shot in either set!
Arlos weekend went like this with defeats over: Dave Schaefer 9-4, Mark Jarvis 9-6, Richie Richeson 9-4. Arlo then ran into Tony Chohan who was on fire and was defeated by Chohan 9-7. Arlo went on in the 1 loss side with defeats over Ronnie Wiseman 9-8. The match against Wiseman looked like it was over when Wiseman had Arlo down 8-3 with Wiseman shooting the 6 ball straight in.............it seemed the match was over and Arlos run was finished until Wiseman saw his slow roll of the 6 ball roll out and sit in the pocket. This left Wiseman sitting in his seat for the next 5 racks. Arlo came back to knock Wiseman out of the event. Arlo went on after that match to defeat Adam Smith 9-8, Doug Young 9-5 then defeating Chohan 2 sets, 9-4, 9-4. Great play by Arlo Walsman!
2nd place Tony Chohan had wins over, Juan Garcia 9-0, Brandon Knowling 9-2, Bob Hendrix 9-6 Arlo Walsman 9-7, Doug Young 9-7. Chohan then fell to Walsman 9-4 in the 1st set and 9-4 the 2nd set.
3rd place Doug Young came through the following field: Kenny Brisbon 9-2, Shawn Buckholtz 9-7, Ronnie Wiseman 9-5, Adam Smith 9-7 then took his 1st loss being defeated by Chohan 9-7 and defeated by Walsman 9-5.
4th place Adam Smith went through the following field of players, defeating Houston Rodriguez 9-3, Charles Wilson 9-2, Jeremy Seaman 9-7 then falling to Doug Young 9-7 Adam Smith then defeated Jason Kirkwood 9-6 and then falling to Arlo Walsman 9-8 giving Smith a 4th place finish.
