Voted the best room in Detroit, Snookers has a custom-made chandelier in its front room with dangling pool balls, and all of its decorations encompass a pool theme.  The tournament took place o­n seven of the Brunswick Gold Crowns.  As testament to how well he was playing, Wiseman played Aaron Aldridge and o­nly allowed his opponent two shots during the entire 7-0 match.  Alridge went o­n to take fifth place.  In the quarterfinals, Cass Marcinkowski, the manager of Hall of Fame Billiards in Detroit, met Mark Hosler.  In the hill match, Hosler played a great safe o­n the 3 ball, and Marcinkowski came with a fantastic kick that knocked in the 3 and gave him position o­n the 5.  He ran out the rack, defeating Hosler and relegating him to fourth place. 

The match for the hot seat was between Wiseman and Marcinkowski, who was defeated 7-3.  Marcinkowski then went o­n to play Chaperon and lost 7-4, ending up in third place.  This set up the finals between Wiseman and Chaperon, who had bought himself in the players auction for a mere $10.  Chaperon fought the good fight, but succumbed to Wiseman 7-3.
