Sunday saw an upset when o­ne of the world’s top players, Immonen, suffered a 9-3 loss to Dan Lavoie in the first match of the day and was forced to the o­ne loss side.  This was not the last Lavoie would hear from Immonen, though, for the former world champion had a chance to avenge himself in the quarters against Lavoie and took full advantage by doling out his punishment with a 9-2 win.

While Immonen was gaining face in the quarters, the hot seat match was going o­n between Mills and Williams.  Mills couldn’t heat up his game enough to get past Williams and claim the hot seat and suffered a 9-4 defeat.

Mills traveled to the o­ne-loss side to battle it out against Immonen for a spot in the finals.  Mills got out ahead early in the match with a 6-2 lead.  Immonen was not going to settle for another defeat in this tournament and went o­n a tear to win 9-6, securing himself the spot to challenge Williams for top honors.

Williams and Immonen were both determined to grab that top prize of $3,500.  They kept the match seesawing until Immonen pulled away10-6.  Williams answered back with o­ne more rack, closing the gap 10-7.  While going for the next rack, Williams missed the 7 ball, allowing Immonen to get to the table for the break o­n the next rack.  Immonen cleaned up the next three racks to earn a 13-8 victory, closing out the final match and the third stop of the Seminole Florida Pro Tour.
