Final Stan James Stop Underway in Valleyfield, Quebec

Final Stan James Stop Underway in Valleyfield, QuebecAn extremely tough field has come to Dooly’s Billiards in Valleyfield, Quebec to compete in the final leg of the Stan James Canadian Nine Ball tour. Tour points leader Edwin Montal of Calgary was over to the one-loss side early by John Morra and he was joined there by Ryan Solleveld (who lost to best friend Erik Hjorliefson), Harold Rousseau (who also lost to Hjorliefson) and Chris Orme (who lost to former World Champion Alex Pagulayan).Alain Martel was sent left at the hands of Nicholas Guimond, host Luc Salvas was shuffled west by Brady Gollan and Jeff White also populated the sudden-death side after falling to Al Logan. Tournament Director Jim Wych said: “This is the toughest field we have had so far and the draw has had big guns doing battle all day. It’s a very bad day to be a great player”.There were simply no easy roads to walk. By the end of the day only four players remained unscathed. Brady Gollan will face Tyler Edey on Sunday morning and Erik Hjorliefson will go up against Danny Hewitt. The one-loss side got bloody quick. Both Chris Orme and Jeff White are eliminated from play. But they are not the only champions to go home early. Tour leader Edwin Montal finished in a long tie for 13th and Harold Rousseau only got as far as 17th. Luc Salvas , DJ McGinley, Martin Daigle and Ryan Solleveld are on their way home after a disappointing day saw then lose out early and Eddie Galati only saw action twice.
First to see play on Sunday on the one-loss side will be Marco Rodier vs. Nicholas Guimond, Alain Martel vs. Al Logan, John Morra vs. his father Mario Morra and Jason Holdaway vs. Alex Pagulayan. We will send the final results of play immediately following the completion of the event on Sunday night.The Stan James Canadian Nine Ball Tour wishes to recognize and thank fellow sponsors Aramith Billiard Balls and Canada Billiards.
