Poison 9-Ball Tour

The poison tour will be heading to Tallahassee this weekend; this will be the furthest the Poison tour has traveled on its schedule venturing into the Florida’s Capitol. Zingales Billiards room will be the first pool room on the Pan Handle side of Florida to host a Poison tour event. There has been a big demand for the tour to travel to the Pan Handle we would like to thank Room Owner Michael Zingale for making this event happen which we hope will attract many new players to the Zingales pool room and the Poison Tour.

The weekend will consist of two $1000 Added Events.

Saturday will be a $1000 Added Amateur event. Sunday will be a $1000 Added Open event, all players that played in Saturdays amateur event will receive a discounted entry into Sundays open event. Whether you are playing or just coming to watch this will be a great weekend of pool for everyone. The Poison cue line will also be on show with Demo cues for anyone interested in trying out Predator Poison line of cues.

Stroker’s II in Tampa, Florida was the host location for the latest Poison tour event 12/4/10 with 36 players showing up for the $1000 Added amateur event. Joe Scarborough was looking very strong in the event as he fought his way through to the finals with hard fought wins over Mark Wathen 7-6, Hall Schaeffer 7-5, Jose Del Rio 7-3, Jarred Schlauch 7-3 and then a 7-1 win over Rick Gatta to make it to the winners side final where he would face the case maker Dan Whitten. Whitten made his way to the winner’s side with solid wins over Jeremy Aurswald 7-5, Walter Blacker 7-2, Jerry Troisi 7-1, Jon Curtis 7-2 and then Todd Anderson 7-4 to set up the hotseat match. Scarborough would prove to be to strong as he would come out on top a 7-3 winner. On the one loss side Jim Sandaler was taking names after a 7-6 loss to Rick Gatta, Sandaler would win 5 straight before running into Todd Anderson and taking a 5-4 loss to leave Sandaler in 4th. Anderson would then avenge his loss to Whitten with a 5-3 win to put himself in the final.

The final would see Scarborough playing great all round pool to take down Anderson 7-2 in the final.

The $1000 added open event would draw a small but strong 25 man field, with the likes of Mike Davis, Richey Richeson, Butch Croft, James Roberts and Mark Coats to mention a few. Mike Davis would once again prove to be the man to beat as he made his way through to the hotseat with wins over Jessica Barnes 7-1, James Roberts 7-6, Dan Whitten 7-1 and then a hard fought 7-6 win over Butch Croft 7-6 to take the hotseat. The one loss side would see Tony Crosby make a charge after a 1st round loss to Richey Richeson, Crosby would go onto defeat Nick Prouty, Lee Holland, Richey Richeson, Dan Whitten and James Roberts before running into Butch Croft who would stop his run with a strong 7-3 win to leave Crosby in 3rd and set up a final rematch with Davis.

The final would be another chance for Croft to try and gain his first title on tour his only problem was that Davis had been playing solid pool all day and the final would be no different with Davis coming out on top with a 7-3 win to take his 3rd title of the season and leave Croft still seeking his 1st.

The tour would like to thank Stroker’s Tampa and their staff. Our next event will be at Good Time Billiards in Miami on 12/11/10. For more info and the tour schedule visit www.poisonpooltour.com.
