After defeating TJ Laflamme in the hot seat match, Sambajon patiently waited for the next contender, which turned out to be Viera. A legend in the northeast, Viera won their first set by the score of 9-6. However, Joss NE Tours go by a double-elimination format. The final match saw both players going back and forth with few balls made on either's break. In the end, Sambajon just played stronger, and he won the match by the score of 9-3.
The next Joss NE Tour event will take place at Pro Billiards in Albany, New York, in two weeks. 1st - Santos Sambajon, Jr. $1,300 2nd - Carlos Viera $900 3rd - TJ Laflamme $700 4th - Mike Zuglan $550 5th/6th - Ian Costello (pictured), Shane Cote $400 7th/8th - Darren Belliveau, Chad Bazinet $225 9th/12th - Dave Hall, Mark Ransom, David Rowell, Rick Matarazzo $125
