Just had to shout that my hubby, Mike Zimmerman won the 8 ball tournament. Glenn Atwell 2nd, James Davee 3rd, Pat Shumacher 4th, Ivan Doty and Tim Tweedell in 5th/6th. Stan Tourangeau and ? in 7th/8th.
Mike went through undefeated. Races were to 6 and 5. $1200 added.
I won my first match hill-hill, then lost to an A player hill-hill when I played a really tough intricate layout, got to the last ball before the 8 where there was only an inch to spare for position, made the back cut and scratched off the 7.
I ran every rack I shot in, (except one), lol, and except for 2 misses on relatively easy 8's and that scratch. I did all the heavy lifting in that match and he got clean up. When I missed on the first 8, it would have been 5-2 me. Oh well, I did win the blind draw mixed doubles tournament on Sunday. 
Mike broke against James Davee and made 6 balls on the break (4 solids and 2 stripes) and the cueball was stuck to the end rail against another ball in a cluster, so he had no shot. He was able to play a fantastic safe (he couldn't just jack up and draw it back, as it would have scattered the cluster, probably leaving a shot) and got BIH to run out. He played hard and I'm proud of him. I am posting some pics from the tournament.
Shown L-R: Glenn Atwell, James Davee, Mike Zimmerman (showing off his sponsor's logo, Dave Jones Cues, and his belly!) and Mike Jensen, Tournament Director.
