Poulos Provides the Action

By Bill Rosenberger

Sam Poulos went undefeated o­n Sunday, December 12, 2004, at Rack N Roll Billiards in Stamford, CT.  Poulos captured the title with strong play over some of the area's best players who came to compete o­n the Action Tour.

Poulos dominated the field, winning all of his matches by the score of 7-3.  Frank Robles, his toughest competition, is an "A" player along with Poulos, and they both displayed their talents o­n the table.  

Robles advanced to the finals with a 7-4 over Ryan Graphite in the match to determine third place.  Poulos rushed out to a 6-1 lead in the final match, but Robles didn't give in.  He took four straight racks to get within o­ne game at 6-5.  He had already won more racks against Poulos than anyone else had, but that was about the o­nly thing he could brag about, as Poulos took the final game to win 7-5.

1st Sam Poulos $500

2nd Frank Robles $200
