Kids The Winners at Billiard Education Expo Fundraiser
Combining opportunities to challenge top pros with a pool raffle put $2,300 in the Billiard Education Foundation (BEF) coffers at last week’s Hopkins Super Billiards Expo.

Professional billiard players donating their time to assist in the charity challenge were: Artistic Pool Masters Championship participants Andy Segal, Bruce Barthelette, and Tim Chin; WPBA pro players Ga Young Kim and Allison Fisher; and UPA pro players Mika Immonen, Mike Jackson, Raj Hundal, and Tim Hill.

Super Billiards Expo Event Roundup
Artistic Pool Masters Championship
The Super Billiards Expo concluded March 16 just after 6 p.m., when the final event, the Artistic Pool Masters Championship, crowned a new champion. Mark Dimick bested Eric Yow in the finals with the title coming down to the final shot. Dimick successfully completed it on his first attempt, and although Yow could have taken the event on his first attempt or tied on his second, he failed to execute the shot each time, making Dimick the new champion.
