everyday he's "shufflin!"
They fought a double hill battle for the hot seat, so
when they met again in the finals of the 3rd Action Pool Tour stop of the 2011-2012 Session on the
weekend of November 12-13, Brandon Shuff, Brett Stottlemyer,
and those assembled to watch were expecting another close battle. However, it
didn't happen. Shuff denied Stottlemyer so much as a single rack in the
event finals to complete his undefeated weekend in an event which drew 59
entrants to Big Daddy's Billiards, in Glen Burnie, MD.
Shuff got into the hot seat match against Stottlemyer, having given up only six racks through five rounds of play (for a record of 40-6, including two he gave up versus Mike Davis in the fourth round). Advancing among the winners' side final four, Shuff met and defeated Andy Lincoln 8-1, as Stottlemyer was engaged sending Shaun Wilkie west 8-4. Shuff gave up more racks in his hot seat battle versus Stottlemyer than he'd given up in the previous five rounds of play. He persevered 8-7 to gain the hot seat.
Lincoln moved to the one-loss side and met up with Brian Deska, who'd defeated Alan Duty and R.J. Carmona, both 6-3. Wilkie drew Mike Davis, who, after being downed by Shuff 8-2 earlier, went on to defeat Fred Scott 6-2 and Rafael Reyes 6-3. Both Davis and Deska advanced to the quarterfinals; Davis with a 6-3 win over Wilkie and Deska surviving a double hill match over Lincoln.
It was Deska who would advance to meet Stottlemyer in the semifinals after a 6-2 win over Davis in the quarterfinals. Stottlemyer chalked up his last victory and in fact, his last winning rack of the event with a 6-3 victory over Deska. Shuff immediately took command and never relinquished to complete his undefeated weekend with an 8-0 finals victory that left him with an overall 56-13 record (81%).
