The Lion Conquers WaterlooCanadian 30K Tour / Waterloo, ONT
by Willy Hermoza and E. Butera
Bitter cold saw in the weekend of February 3-4, bringing 54 billiard players to Pool Paradise in Waterloo for the month’s first Canadian 30K Tour billiards stop. Given the strong field, it was no surprise that it took a former world champion, Alex Pagulayan, to win the event.
On the A side of the chart, Pagulayan bested Leanne Amable 9-2 to reach the hot seat match against Scott Soroko, where he easily prevailed 10-3. Frequent tour winner Erik Hjorliefson ended up in fourth place at this event, getting ousted by John Morra 9-6 in the quarterfinals. Morra, who was sent to the B side earlier by Soroko, thus earned himself a rematch with that win but couldn’t capitalize, and Soroko bested Morra again 6-0. Now in the finals, it wasn’t long before Pagulayan unsheathed his claws and took the match 10-4.
Results:
1st Alex Pagulayan
2nd Scott Soroko
3rd John Morra
4th Erik Hjorliefson
5th Leanne Amable
Adam Smith
7th Josh Rundle
Marc Bucais
