Windy city Open Results

In the inaugural year of what could be the Midwest's and amateur's answer to the Derby City Classic (also this week), over 225 men and 76 women came to battle it out for cash in this "No Pros Allowed" event. The event consisted of four tournaments where there were Women's and Men's divisions of both 8-Ball and 9-Ball. Tammie Jones dominated the Women's field in both events by capturing both titles. Jesse Bowman gained top honors in the Men's 8-Ball while Lanny Charles took home the top spot in the Men's 9-Ball.
Windy City Open Men's 8-Ball Results Over 180 men competed in this event, coming as far away as Alaska for a shot at the $25,000 total payout. Jesse Bowman (IL) takes home $5,000, plus a free trip for two to Hollywood to see the premier of Pool Hall Junkies. A players' auction was also held, with $2,600 being paid out on Jesse, who was selected via a $400 wildcard.
