AWBT’s 3rd Stop – Metro Sportz Bar
WPBA Qualifier Presented by J. Pechauer Custom Cues
March 10 – 11
33 Women came to Metro Sportz Bar to play in the AWBT’s 3rd stop! This
was a WPBA Qualifier presented by J. Pechauer Custom Cues. The winner
of this event will receive not only the $326 added monies, but also a paid
spot into the Enjoypool.com WPBA 9-ball open in May at the Rivera Hotel
in Vegas!
Many of the usual favorites were knocked to the B-side early, allowing many
fresh new faces to emerge on the A-side and also appear in the top 8 to
come back and play on Sunday. These 4 matches were: On the A-side,
Kristie Ortega vs. Leandrea Gaff and Marita Incalcaterra vs. Michelle Trevino.
The B-side started with Susan Wilbur vs. Susan Mello and Holly Sholes
vs. Kristin Haney.
One by one ladies were eliminated until the top 4 emerged. Kristie Ortega
made it through her bracket with ease and earned her way into her first
AWBT hot seat match! Her opponent, Michelle Trevino, also played very
well all weekend to earn her way to the hot seat! Michelle defeated Kristie
with a score of 7 to 1 to allow herself a well deserved break.
Meanwhile, Kristin Haney beat Susan Mello in the 1st semi final match.
Kristin went on to play Kristie Ortega in the 2nd semi final match. The match
was quite close and both players did a great job, but Kristie came out on
top and went on to play Michelle Trevino.
Kristie Ortega took a brief and well deserved breather as Michelle Trevino sat patiently waiting for the final match to
begin. Since this is a true double elimination tournament Kristie will have to beat Michelle two matches of a race to
seven.
The game got started with Michelle winning the lag. From the 4 ball Kristie was able to get a nice run until she bobbled
the 6 ball near the corner pocket. With 4 balls left on the table Michelle got down to the 8 ball and scratched in the side
pocket while making the 8. Ball in hand, Kristie made the 9 ball and got her first win and also, winning the 2nd game
with a score of 2 – 0 now. Michelle broke for the 3rd game and was able to run the table, but bobbled the 8 ball near the
corner pocket. Kristie made the 8 ball and unfortunately set herself up pretty difficult for the 9 ball. She over cut it and this
gave Michelle another crack at the table and the win making the score 2 – 1. With 2 balls left on the table Kristie won the
4th game. Soon after she was able to win the 5th game and kept a good lead of 4 – 1. For the 6th game with only 3 balls
left on the table Kristie made the 8 ball and scratched. With ball in hand on the 9 for Michelle she won and made the
score to 4 – 2. The 7th and 8th game was over in the blink of an eye with a score tied up to 4 and won by Michelle. With
the 9th game and 4 balls left on the table Michelle left the 9 ball on the table for Kristie to pocket and win with a lead of 5
– 4. With lots of stress and many things going through both players minds they took a short break and soon, got down to
business. Kristie won the 10th game which put her on the hill, 6 - 4. The 11th game there were 3 balls left on the table
and Kristie won with a final score of 7 – 4. Great job now only one more set to go!
Again the ladies took breather to relax and collect their thoughts before starting the 2nd set. The 1st game got under way
with Michelle winning the break. This game went back and forth with a lot of defensive shots, but when it came down to a
2 / 9 ball combo, Kristie got her first win with a score of 1 – 0. The 2nd game Michelle sent the 4 ball flying. The cue ball
made contact with the 5 ball which sent the 9 ball all the way down the table and into the corner pocket, tying up the
game 1 – 1. Beautiful shot Michelle! On the 3rd game Michelle had a 5 ball run out and a lead score of 2 - 1. The 4th
game was quite tense since both players had a few attempts at trying to combo the 9 ball. They both went back and forth
and eventually Kristie tied the game up with a 3 / 9 combo making the score 2 – 2. With 2 balls left on the table, Michelle
won the 5th game and gaining a score lead of 3 – 2. The 6th game, Michelle had a long kick at the 2 and made it in the
corner pocket. The game went back and forth, but with 3 balls left on the table Michelle got the win and continued on with
winning the 7th. She now had a two point lead with the score at 5 – 2. On the 8th game, with only 2 balls left on the table
Kristie banked the 8 ball and made the 9 ball in the corner pocket. Nicely done, Kristie! The score was now 5 – 3.
Michelle broke and made 3 balls for the 9th game. Kristie played some great safeties, but with 5 balls left on the table,
Michelle ran them out and with this putting her on the hill, gave her the lead score of 6 – 3. Kristie broke the 10th game.
With a pool player dream of a beautiful spread of the table Michelle ran the table and gained the win with a final score of
7 – 3 by making a 7 / 9 combo. Excellent job Michelle! You definitely made an incredible come back!
