ACS PRESENTS LUCASI HYBRID ALL AMERICAN TOUR
The fortieth and final stop on the 2009-2010 Lucasi Hybrid All American Tour (produced by the American CueSports Alliance – ACS) was produced in Houston, TX, on Saturday, June 19 – The 14th Annual Houston Billiard Open. The $500 added charity event, hosted by The Independent Billiard League of Houston, Inc., featured a 37-player field in a double-elimination 8-ball format in races to 3 and benefited The Pet Patrol. Jung Yoo (Houston, TX) climbed to the hot seat at the expense of Greg Killips (Houston, TX) 3-1, Matt Hull (Houston, TX) 3-1, C.B. Benitez (Houston, TX) 3-2, T. McGregor (Houston, TX) and Beau Urdiales (Houston, TX) 3-1. Yoo’s opponent in the tourney finals proved to be Candido Ramirez (Houston, TX). Ramirez’s record prior to the finals included wins over Nate Nguyen (Houston, TX) 3-0, Robert Soto (Houston, TX) 3-1 before a loss to Beau Urdiales 0-3. Ramirez recovered to eliminate in order: Alvie Jones (Houston, TX) 3-0, Richard Chew (Houston, TX) 3-2, Alan Tyser (Houston, TX) 3-0, C.B. Benitez (Houston, TX) 3-1 and Beau Urdiales (Houston, TX) 3-1. The finals between Jung Yoo and Candido Ramirez took one set, as the undefeated Yoo lost the first game, but recovered to run out the set for the title – 3-1 ! By virtue of Alan Tyser (Houston, TX) being the highest-finishing ACS member in the event, he qualified for a free 8-Ball singles entry into the 2011 ACS Nationals in Las Vegas – courtesy of the ACS.
