| ACS PRESENTS LUCASI HYBRID ALL AMERICAN TOUR RESULTS FROM THE NITE HAWK IN PORTLAND, OR | |
| The forty-forth stop of the 2010-11 Lucasi Hybri All American Tour (produced by the American CueSports Alliance – ACS) - The Memorial 9-Ball Tournament - was hosted in Portland, OR, on Friday thru Sunday, 8-10, at the Nite Hawk Lounge. The $1,500 added event featured a full 48-player field in a double-elimination, handicapped 9-ball format on 8-foot Valley bar boxes. This event annually draws the top players throughout the northwest United States, and legends such as Stan Tourangeau, Dan Louie, Rich Geiler and Glenn Atwell definitely came out for this one!
With neither displaying any signs of diminished skills, both Dan Louie (Seattle, WA) and Glenn Atwell (Salem, OR) marched to the A-side semifinals, where Louie vanquished Atwell 9-3, while Bobby Zack (Portland, OR) overcame Damian Pongpanik 9-7. Louie continued his dominance in the A-side finals to eclipse Zack by a 9-3 margin to gain the hot seat.
On the B-side Ivan Doty (Longview, WA) relegated Kenny Dodd (Hillsboro, OR) to 7th place, 9-3, where Dodd was joined by Matt Horner (Salem, OR), who fell to the cue of Zac Masiby (Vancouver, WA) 9-4. In turn both Doty and Masiby were eliminated in the next round by Glenn Atwell 9-5 and Damian Pongpanik 9-5 respectively. Atwell kept his hot hand, out stroking Damian Pongpanik at 4th place by a 9-7 margin and Bobby Zack in the B-side finals by a 9-2 score. A claasic tourney finals emerged with a one-set, race to 11, and Dan Louie kept control to protect his winning ways for the weekend with a 11-6 victory to claim the weekend’s title!
