IIRC, Nikki is married and no longer goes by Benish.
I think her married name is Hollingsworth, but I'm not sure about that.
Sorry, but I don't have any more information.

She was doing fine last year when I saw her at the Smoky Mtn Shootout. Her father Ray plays in the tournament every year and she usually goes as a spectator. I do not think she plays very much anymore, at least that is what I heard.

Happily married, has a child, and works full time, for an airline, I think. Said in an interview somewhere that she was very involved in her church. I haven't seen her in a year or so.

I have not seen Nikki in over a year either. All I do know is that for a 4' 10" Lady she sure shoots'em straight. Her stats for playing in Viking Tour "Open" events are 100% that she cashes in the money.

Every time she played in a Viking Tour event she placed in the money (top 25% of an Open field).

Her fundamentals are perfect along with her use of the bridge. She is a very accomplished player. I hope she can make it back out to compete again soon. She is a pleasure to be around and watch while she is playing.

Rich...You're right about her name. She lives in SC, and has retired from professional pool.

Nikki was supposed to be the house pro for The Break Room in Spartanburg, SC. I've only seen her there once since the place opened and haven't heard of her being there since. She apparently gave lessons to the owner on fundamental mechanics of playing before he opened the place.
The local players pretty much avoid the room, not a players' room.
Her married name is Hollingsworth.
