9 Ball
The men's 9-ball event turned out to be quite a display of good pool playing as Mike Jensen fought his way to the top after being shut down by fellow league teammate Steve Hanks. Meanwhile in the winner's bracket the crowd was torn as favored players Tony Norella and Mark Anderson played each other for the hill.In the loser's bracket Mike Jensen continued to walk through his opponents as he did not let up on anything. Being sure to close the game at any given chance it seemed that Mike was breaking the spirit of his opponents. All this finally led to a ferocious match between Mike and Mark Anderson to see who would challenge Tony's command of the hill. Mike's robotic like shot-making procedure vs. Mark's sheer determination to give Mike nothing made for a match worth watching. After the smoke settled Mike ended up on top as Mark took third place.After losing the first match to Michael for first place, Tony Norella turned things up a notch as Michael came out firing in the first match. The final match proved to tense as Tony answered Mike's assault with two nine ball breaks. Mike undaunted came back with a nine ball break of his own and a safety play on the one that can only be described as an "Efren Reyes" safe that seem to change the course of the match in Mike's favor. Congratulations to all the finishers, and thank you for hours of great pool!
