Souvanthong Scores on Joss Tour
Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour / Rochester, NY
by Rick Davis
Bucky Souvanthong topped a field of 37 billiard players at the March 29-30 stop of the Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour. The event was hosted by Classic Billiards in Rochester, NY, and offered some of the best 9-ball action around for the weekend.
Late on the winners’ side Dan Heidrich sent Jason “The Dark Horse” Kirkwood west 9-6 but then fell to Souvanthong 9-7 in the hot seat match. On the one-loss side Ron Casanzio was working on a comeback, eliminating Jim Behringer 9-4 to reach the quarterfinal round. Kirkwood was also still fighting, and after ousting Pat Howey 9-5, he knocked out Casanzio 9-4. In the quarterfinals Kirkwood went on to get revenge against Heidrich, whom he eliminated with a 9-5 score.
In the final the true double-elimination format made it an interesting fight, and after Kirkwood owned the opening set 9-3 it looked to be anyone’s game. With the last set running, neither player could get an edge and finally, with the match at 8-all, both players had the opportunity to close out the set. After each had failed to claim it Souvanthong managed...

The Tri-State Tour pulled into The Sand Castle in Edison, NJ, where Chris Luethi bested the 45-player field during the March 29 event to take home the title. This event was a B-D handicapped 9-ball event, and its double-elimination format made for some great action.
On the winners’ side Michael Seas defeated Angelo Quadara 7-3, while Luethi bested Jason Egeln 6-5. Then, in the hot seat match set, Luethi edged out Seas 6-5 to claim the king of the hill seat. Over on the one-loss side Ben Sadowski ousted Brian Cap 7-2 but then fell to Egeln 6-2, who then reached the plateau of the quarterfinal match. On the other side of the chart Sal Lanuto eliminated Bogie Udejczyk 7-5 but was then uprooted by Quadara 7-5 on his way through the chart. Quadara flew through the quarterfinals, drilling Egeln 7-3 there and then knocked out Seas 7-4 in the semifinals.
With the event coming to a close, Luethi faced Quadara in the finals, and after the match tipped back and forth, Luethi managed to finish ahead by a nose, earning the event title with the 7-6 win in the finals.
Results:
