Whitey's Pool Hall 8 Ball Doubles Tournament results
After the marathon that was our last doubles, we made the necessary adjustments and ended up with a MUCH smoother and earlier night this time! The races were quicker but still many double hill and competitive matches. Thirty-three teams made their way over to Derbigny St for a piece of $7,690 in total cash up for grabs. The recently added 10 ball Break+Run Pot from Sundays was up for grabs. Totalling at $1,050 after ticket sales, Brandon Hodge would hold the lucky ticket. For $105 a ball he got down and hit the rack fairly decent. But the balls were too good for their ball home. Dryer than Nancy Pelosi. The Sunday players will be happy for the extra $300+ in the pot!
The calcutta raked in a solid $4,640. Nabbing yourself and snapping off this event would net you and your partner $2,800. Not too bad for a Saturday out of the house. With a lot of teams playing as the max, many others only one or two levels behind, and a few lower levels looking to prove themselves, the field was TOUGH. It was pure gambling in that calcutta. Out of the gate Ben Parker/Kendall would takedown Joel/Eduardo, Francisco/Milkshake, Hector R/Christian, and then Devin Arnoult/Kris Perez to reach the hill match. On the other end Glawson/Nip would takedown Kelle Hood/Nicole, Audi/Lenny, DJ/Bryce, and then Stephanie Norman/Heather Robets to reach the hill match. After losing their first match, Metairie Matt/Michelle Petit would grind through the bracket taking down Joel/Eduardo, Christian Taylor/Zach Cohen, Chris Lund/Trinidad, Oscar/Carlos, and then Hector R/Christian before falling to Stephanie/Heather in the final six. Also taking the same journey through the loser's side, Jonathan Loupe/Teddy would takedown Brett/Ryan, Zummo/Clessi, Fabio/Troy, DJ/Bryce, and then Alberto/Toro before falling to Devin/Kris in the final six. Both Matt/Michelle and Loupe/Teddy earn themselves a well deserved piece of the tournament cash. In the final four Heather/Stephanie would send Devin/Kris home with a 4th place finish and a piece of both tournament and calcutta money. Determined for a rematch with Glawson/Nip, the ladies would advance to the finals for their shot at redemption. Snapping off the Battle of the Sexes tournament, they were no strangers to facing the pressures of the finals. They in fact would show they were indeed not fu***ng around, taking down the first set to force the second one. In a heated thriller of a shootout it would come down to the wire. Double hill for all the marbles. Do or die. Tasked with an eight ball cut off the the rail, Mr. Nip would sink the eight ball. The cue ball came floating towards the corner pocket, uh oh. The cue ball would rattle the hole, as****es puckered across the room. But, ole wh**ey would stay afloat. Glawson/Nip would narrowly avoid the double dip for the big cheddar! Don't worry though, Stephanie/Heather would takehome a well fought second place finish with $1,800. Not to shabby.
