Another Disqualification Mars Second Round of Billiards Tournament

Another Disqualification Mars Second Round of Billiards TournamentPhenolic tips continue to be the bane of pool players as Hall of Fame member “Champagne” Eddie Kelly was just disqualified from the World Open 8-Ball Championship. “Hall of Fame player Ed Kelly has been disqualified from the tournament for using a phenolic tip. He said they told him it was leather when he bought it, but again, as Kevin very clearly pointed out, it’s your job to know one way or another, and it’s clearly a phenolic tip.” “I have no idea what ‘phenolic’ is,” claimed Kelly to tournament director Deno Andrews.Discuss the IPT World Open 8-Ball ChampionshipVisit the IPT World Open 8-Ball Championship Image GalleryNot surprisingly, “Machine Gun” Luc Salvas’s match was the first to finish in Round Two. He had played against Robert McKenna of the UK and speedily won 8-2. “I played very good, I think, I played a fast match, twenty-five minutes, I think. I played good and broke good. I had a couple of racks, very tough, not easy, but I worked through them. I feel good now and for tomorrow. If I can play like this, I won’t have a problem.”
Recent IPT addition George “The Flamethrower” Breedlove bested Kim Davenport in a brutal 8-1 drubbing, while Keith McCready suffered a worse fate when Oliver Ortmann broke and ran out six of their eight total racks to win 8-0. So far, McCready has not won a match. He will play Laurent Travers at 3 p.m. and Dee Adkins at 5:30 p.m.Dennis Hatch played his first match of the day against Ike Runnels and dealt him an 8-2 defeat, breaking and running five of the racks. Hatch was the big winner at the pro event at the Super Billiards Expo last March and is certainly one of the strongest players in his bracket.Round 1 GROUP 1T. HohmannS. MooreL. JonesW. KiamcoJ.
