Diamond Jim’s APA (American Pool Players Association) Masters team took first place in the National qualifier pool tournament the week end of June 7th and 8th 2008. Our team won $3,000.00 in cash and an entry into the Las Vegas Masters tournament August 18th 2008.
The match was tight and it came down to the last ball. Mike played our last match and managed to pocket the final nine ball barely missing the cue ball scratch on the last game. This final shot made us the Champions of this Billiards tournament and set us up with a pile of cash and secured our entry into the Vegas pool tournament.
The picture above is our team with the trophies and 3 grand in cash spread out on the 7 foot Valley bar table. Front row is Jimmy and Ted and the back row is Bill and Mike.
We had a great time and some close matches. We are hoping that Las Vegas will treat us well in August.

I really enjoyed reading the play by play billiards action about the results of the pool tournament in Pueblo and getting the 411 on the Vegas tournament.

To your run out success.
