by Jose Burgos
Cosmo’s Billiards in Scranton, PA, played hosted to the Blaze 9-Ball Tour the weekend of February 10-11. Topping a tough field of 52 others was Santos Sambajon Jr. of the Philippines, beating out players such as Pat McNally, Matt Krah, and fellow countryman Gandy Valle.
Leading the top half of the bracket, Sambajon notched wins over Seth Harris 7-0, Al Waldo 7-1, Valle 7-4, Scott Hurley 7-3, and Joe Hong 7-5. Mike Miller led the bottom half, taking victories over Joe Bowman Jr. 7-6, David Abraham 7-4, Randy Schwager 7-4, and Cosmo 7-4.
When Miller and Sambajon met in the battle for the hot seat, it resulted in a one-sided match that saw Sambajon pull away to a 7-4 win, sending Miller to the west side of the chart. Valle was waiting there for him, and though the Filipino held a commanding 5-1 lead, Miller came back and shocked Valle with a 6-5 victory to get another shot at Sambajon.
Miller led 7-5 in the tight final match-up, but Sambajon was able to step up his game to win the next four racks, taking the match 9-7.
