Slivka and Fisher Tops on Tiger TourTiger Planet Pool Tour / Arnold, MDby Rick DavisThe December 2-3 Tiger Planet Pool 9-Ball Tour brought out a whopping field of billiards players for the $9,000-added action at Bill and Billies Cuesport in Arnold, MD, where Northeast big gun Jerry Slivka and WPBA pro Kelly Fisher cleaned up the brackets to take the top spots on the billiard tour’s finale.
The 61-player field in the open division found its way to the remaining four on the winners’ side as Larry Kressel faced Josh Brothers and Andy Lincoln faced Pooky Rasmeloungon. Kressel slipped past Brothers hill-hill, while Lincoln blazed by his opponent 9-3. Fighting in the hot seat match, the score tipped each way until Kressel gained the momentum to finish the match 9-7.On the one-loss side, Slivka eliminated Brothers 9-4 and Kevin West knocked out Rasmeloungon 9-6. Slivka was on a roll, and wins over West 9-6 and Lincoln 9-4 quickly ushered him into the finals. The extended race to 11 was no problem for Slivka, who quickly took the lead and then finished the match off 11-5.In the ladies’ division, 22 players competed, and before long only four were left standing. Fisher bested Pam Treadway 7-3 in the hot seat match, while over on the one-loss side, Kathleen Lawless nearly shut out Sueyen Rhee 5-1 in the quarterfinals. Lawless moved on to the semifinals, where she met Treadway, who eliminated her 5-3. The finals offered a rematch of the hot seat match, but this time some excitement was thrown in. Treadway had a 6-2 lead, then 7-3, until Fisher mounted her comeback, taking six racks in a row to claim the event with a 9-7 finish in the finals.Next the tour heads to Sterling, VA, for their December 9 eight-ball season finale.See below for the results of the Tiger Planet Pool Tour season finale for 9-ball.Open Results:1st Jerry Slivka2nd Larry Kressel3rd Andy Lincoln4th Kevin West5th Josh BrothersPookie Rasmeloungon7th Danny GreenMike DavisWomen’s Results:1st Kelly Fisher2nd Pam Treadway3rd Kathleen Lawless4th Sue-yen Rhee5th Val FinnieMing Ng7th Asia CycakMy-Hanh Lac
