Tucker wins Snookers Joss Tourney

The Joss NE 9-Ball Tour drew a field of 56 players to Snooker's Cafe &
Billiards in Providence, RI over the weekend for the latest stop on their
tour. The field of players included such notables as Danny Basavich, Frankie
Hernandez, Karen Corr, Joey Korsiak, Julie Kelly, Al Lapena, last event's
winner Tom D'Alfonso and Joe Tucker.

The winners side came down to D'Alfonso and Tucker for the hot-seat. Alfonso
was coming off an impressive win last week, while Tucker was showing that
there was no rust in his game after a six-month layoff. Tucker came out on
the right side of the 9-5 match and took the hot-seat.

On the one loss side, D'Alfonso quickly eliminated Tony Ruberto to earn
another shot at Tucker in the finals.

In last week's double elimination finals, D'Alfonso held the hot-seat and
lost the first set of the finals to Mike Zuglan before winning the final set
for the touranment win. This week, D'Alfonso scored a dominating 9-4 win
over Tucker in the first set of the finals and was within one match of a
second straight win. Tucker made sure that didn't happen as he came out
strong in the second set and raced to a 7-2 lead. D'Alfonso clawed back to
7-5. A safety on the 7-ball in the next game proved to be D'Alfonso's last
shot as Tucker kicked the ball in and ran out that and the following rack
for the 9-5 win.

Tucker earned $1700 for first place, while D'Alfonso pocketed $1230 for
second. Ruberto and Dave Fernandez filled out the top four spots.

The Joss NE 9-Ball Tour will be at Diamond Eight Billiards in Latham, NY on
December 3rd-4th for their next event.

Complete Payouts:
1st Joe Tucker $1700
2nd Tom D'Alfonso $1230
3rd Tony Ruberto $950
4th Dave Fernandez $700
5th/6th Al Lapena, Karen Corr $500
7th/8th Joey Korsiak, Danny Basavich $350
9th/12th Frankie Hernandez, Joe Dupuis, Mike Deshaine, Julie Kelly $200
13th/16th Chuck Altomare, Mike Yamauchi, Marty Herman, Rich Kravetz $100
