Pechauer Tour Hits Boise

Pechauer Tour Hits BoiseBy Carissa BiggsBack/Street Billiards in Boise, ID hosted the 9th Pechauer West Coast Tour Stop of the season on April 19th and 20th. Players from California have been traveling quite a few miles to keep up with these stops in the Northwest and it was finally worth at least one persons while! on The Wire, promoters of the Pechauer West Coast 9-Ball Tour would like to thank the diligence and show of heart of all the players making arrangements and coming out to support the tour. Player participation will make it possible to host bigger events with more in the prize purses and multiple stops in each area. We greatly appreciate being able to have a men's tour here on the West Coast and are thankful to Pechauer and other sponsors for standing behind the game here in our area.
Doug and Ronnie Berest, proprietors of Back/Street Billiards were ideal hosts over the weekend. Play started on Saturday morning, as scheduled and ran through the day and into the evening. Local player Josh Smith came through the tough field after suffering an early loss to Tinsley Johnson. He snuck through a match against Tour point leader John Doherty in a hill-hill showdown; then battled it out with 4th place leader Glenn Atwell defeating him 9-6. The young Smith lost again to Tinsley Johnson leaving him in a very respectable 4th place. Another new member to the tour, Tommy Baker came out of the gate gangbusters moving through the tournament like a man on fire and took the hot seat from Rafael Martinez, who has yet to score a Championship Title at one of the Pechauer Tour stops. This one was not meant for Martinez either. After his loss to Baker, he faced Tinsley Johnson from California, who seemed determined to obtain a victory. Johnson, who suffered his first loss to Baker, earned the opportunity for revenge. Baker would have none of it in the final race to 13. He made it clear that he is the player to be reckoned with in Idaho and Utah; he will defend his turf! He won the title with a 13-5 decisive victory.1st Baker, Tommy 200 10002nd Johnson, Tinsley 150 8003rd Martinez, Rafael 125 5004th Smith, Josh 100 3005th Juarez, Paul 80 150Berest, Doug 807th Silva, Paul 65 125Atwell, Glenn 659th Camantique, Randy 50Duclos, John 50Kirk, Jerry 50Byrum, Daryll 5013th Doherty, John 35Chandler, Scott 35Jimenez, Jeff 35Anderson, Roger 3517th Hanks, Steven 20Pierce, Jim 20 InsidePOOL
