And a great field of players at that. I can't wait!

Where is Frankie Hernandez? I can't imagine him not playing in the finale.

 

[Koop]

Reyes, Effren

No offense to the other players but I can die a happy man now.
This will be the first time I get to see Efren live.
Not mention Corey Deuel, Neils Feijen, Marlon Manalo, and Kim Davenport.

Jude,

Where is your name? Are you playing?

[Timberly]

That list of players just made me even more depressed that I don't get to go.

Bummer. I'd to meet as many Azers as possible.

Though with list it will have to be quick. I'll be sweatin way too many matches...

 

[hsholes]

Good luck Karen!!

Go Karen go!! I hope she beats all the boys!!!

 

[JAM]

Just from my own personal observation of Karen Corr in the past several years competing on the Joss Tour, she's taken down many a player, much to their chagrin. She's always a crowd favorite, and she is very gracious to each and every person who comes her way.

Rumor has it that Johnny Archer is the best pool-playing golfer in the States, and there will be a golf outing with Johnny, Earl, Kim Davenport which is going to be fun. When they're not shooting pool, these guys really do enjoy playing golf.

I've got to give many kudos to Tournament Director Mike Zuglan at this juncture. He worked diligently on making this Turning Stone Season Finale a reality many, many months ago, and it paid off. $25,000 added is attractive, and I have been to the Turning Stone before and it is nothing but first class all the way. The casino staff went all out for the last pool tournament there, providing refreshments on site in a beautiful ballroom which afforded plenty of room for the tables allowing each player a comfort zone when they're in the pit. The elevated seating with padded chairs was comfortable, with excellent viewing, and I can't wait until August 18th through the 21st.

Checkout the ballroom at the Turning Stone Casino from the last Joss event. I've been to quite a few pool tournaments over the years, but a pool tournament at the Turning Stone Casino, it doesn't get any better than this.

Mike, will there be any VENDORS at this party? If so, how do I go about applying for a Vendor Booth?

You may send me a PM. Thanks... cb

Wow what an impressive list!!! Any dark horse picks just for fun. Like to hear. Noticed Mr. Slivka is going North.

Gerry Slivka is a good dark horse. However, I haven't seen him too much lately, tournament trail or action, which makes me think he could be working instead of playing pool.

Tom D'Alfonso is a good Calcutta bet, if there is one. By choice, he's traveled under the radar, but those who know his game are aware of his strengths. Last I saw him, he was on the road and the grapevine said he was making big scores.

Dennis Hatch is always a good tournament player. He's got pool in his blood, kind of a family thing, and as long as he ain't quarreling with his girlfriend and his head is screwed on straight, the Hatchet is one fierce competitor and can get there.

You gotta like Ryan "Genie Man" McCreesh. He came in second place at the last Turning Stone Casino event several months ago. I think he has a thing about playing in his native New York State that fires his engine up.

Last but not least, if we're talking dark horses, Steve Tavernier of Providence, Rhode Island, was hitting 'em like a machine beating Ryan for the first-place prize. I'm sure he's looking to do a repeat!

Picture of a proud Steve Tavernier collecting his monies from Joss TD Mike Zuglan at the Turning Stone Casino. Mike can't take his eyes off that money!

There are going to be some vendors there including myself (Highendcues). I also will be playing in the tourney, I entered late so it didn't make the list. Hope to see some AZers there... If your looking for some special cues stop by my booth.
PS I fired my Webmaster and the my site will finally get done in the next couple weeks. I had many cues that I didn't get to show...
Best,
Ken K

Hi Ken, I tried to call you, but the number wasn't listed correctly on your website. My email is ceebee@sbcglobal.net

Hi Jenn,

Great picture of the ballroom. Mike told me the event will be held in the TS Events Center out back. This is where all the professional fights are held. Like the ballroom, this will be a great venue. Looking forward to seeing you and Keith. Any idea how many of the pool players are entered in the Texas Hold'em Event running concurrently?

[sniper]

Wow what an impressive list, just goes to show that a well run tour will bring the players out (UPA take notes). Whoever takes this one down will definitely have to earn it.

Hi, Cardiac Kid! I'm really looking forward to going to the Turning Stone. I hadn't seen the TS Events Center out back, but if it is anything like the ballroom, we are all in for a grand old time!

One thing that's a bonus for railbirds like me is that the admission is FREE, FREE, FREE!

Check out the flier on the Turning Stone Casino website about the event. Mike Massey is giving a trick shot exhibition.

As an aside, Ryan McCreesh told me that at Salt City Billiards in Syracuse, they have a Big Rack which is up to $4,000 and some change. There's a tournament there Wednesday night, right before the Joss Season Finale at Turning Stone commences. It may be worth checking out on the way in.

This just in...

There are only 3 slots left in the 128-player field for the Joss Tour Season Finale at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY on August 18-21, 2005.

If you have any desire to compete in this $25,000-added event, call Mike at (518) 356-7163 and get your entry fee in ASAP. Don't get left out.

May the best man/woman win!
