larry lays down the law in va beach!

Picture
Larry Kressel jumped up several slots in the Action Pool Tour rankings with an undefeated, June 22-23 weekend on the tour. Kressel downed Dave Hunt twice in the finals at Q-Master Billiards in Virginia Beach, VA.   

Kressel squared off against Chris Futrell in one winners' side semifinal, as Hunt took on tour director Ozzy Reynolds in the other. Kressel sent Futrell packing, westbound 9-5, as Hunt defeated Reynolds 9-3. In their first of two, Kressel sent Hunt to the semifinals 9-7.  

On the loss side, Reynolds picked up R.J. Carmona, who'd defeated Max Schlothauer 7-5 and Nilbert Lim 7-1. Futrell drew the tour's current ranking leader, Brett Stottlemyer, who'd gotten by Chad Pike 7-4 and Eric Moore 7-1. Reynolds and Stottlemyer went down in identical 7-3 losses to Carmona and Futrell, who moved on to face each other in the quarterfinals.  

The final two, loss-side matches proved to be double hill struggles. Futrell won the first of these in the quarterfinals against Carmona. Futrell and Hunt, both looking for a second chance against Kressel, battled to double hill in the semifinals until Hunt prevailed and got the chance. Kressel took the final set 9-5 to claim the event title.  

The victory left Stottlemyer atop the tour rankings, with Reynolds moving into second place, ahead of Dominic Noe, who finished in this event, tied for 17th place. Hunt's second place finish moved him up a slot or two in the rankings, from his former #6 position behind Reynolds and Noe. 

The Action Pool Tour would like to thank all of the players who came out to participate and a special thanks to the owner and staff of Q-Master Billiards for providing a terrific venue and great food all weekend.  We look forward to returning to this room for more great Action!  Thanks also to our sponsors: Lambros Cues, AzBilliards.com, and PoolActionTV. 

The next stop for The Action Pool Tour is July 13-14, 2013 at Breakers Sky Lounge in Herndon, VA!

The Action Pool Tour is continually looking for sponsors.  If anyone is interested in placing an ad during our live stream, on our website, or any other sponsorship arrangement, please contact Tour Director Ozzy Reynolds at admin@actionpooltour.com.
