| Slivka Wins
Second Straight Joss Tour Stop |
Jerry Slivka |
The Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour was at Trick
Shot Billiards & Sports Pub in Clifton Park, NY this weekend
with 36 players competing for a $4,880 total prize fund. Notable
players in the field included Ryan McCreesh, Jason Michas, Frankie
Hernandez, Eric Hjorliefson, John Morra, Bucky Souvanthong,
Dan Heidrich and last week's winner Jerry Slivka.
Slivka's hopes for another undefeated run to match last week's
run were quickly shot down as he lost a match to Ryan McCreesh
early on Saturday. McCreesh remained undefeated until Sunday
morning, when he lost to last week's runner-up Jason Michas
9-5. Michas went on to score a hill-hill win over Sean Graham
to take the hot-seat.
On the one loss side, Slivka was not giving up the hopes for
a repeat win. He started the day with a 9-3 win over Canadian
Eric Hjorliefson and then got his revenge on McCreesh with a
9-0 win. Dan Heidrich and Sean Graham were next to fall as Slivka
earned his spot in the finals against Michas.
The first set of the true double elimination finals saw Slivka
take an early lead and fight off a comeback attempt by Michas
for the 9-6 win. The second set was much closer with both players
tied at 7-7 before Michas missed a ball during a run-out. That
was the chance Slivka needed as he won that game and the next
for the 9-7 victory and his second straight Joss NE 9-Ball Tour
Stop.
