In the other bracket, number-two-ranked Karen “The Irish Invader” Corr met Sarah Ellerby. Both of these matches ended up being lopsided, as Kelly Fisher vanquished Allison Fisher 7-4, while Corr ousted England’s Ellerby 7-2, going on to meet Kelly Fisher in the final match.
Fisher, whose first pro event was the Canadian Classic in 2004 but who received her touring status at the San Diego Classic two years ago, started off the match in the hole 3-0 to Corr. She staged a comeback, winning the next four racks and then capping that off with a 9 ball break to make 5-3 in her favor. After Corr put another game under her belt, Fisher reached the hill with another 9 ball break. A dramatic last rack saw Corr on two fouls, with both players attempting a 6-9 combo. At that point, Fisher was given free rein and dished up for the 7-4 victory.  Results:1st Kelly Fisher2nd Karen Corr3rd Allison Fisher, Sarah Ellerby5th Dawn Hopkins, Visit Inside POOL Magazine for the latest news from the sport of pool and billiards.
