| Danny Smith Captures Tucson Classic Tour Stop |
Breaking News #189
Young gun, Danny Smith, walked away with top honors at the
second stop of the 2008 Arizona Desert Classic Tour. This
tournament was held April 12th and 13th, at Tucson's Main
Street Billiards. This event featured eight-ball on the nine foot
tables. The tournament drew forty players.
After losing the hot seat match to Dennis Orender, Smith had to
get by Tucson's Tom Neil for another shot at Dennis in the
finals. Rounding out the final four was Arizona's own young
gun, Mitch Ellerman. Ellerman was coming off his recent win at
the U.S Bar Table Championships held in Reno, Nevada.
Dennis Orender's path to the hot seat included wins over Colin
Winter, Ed Scott, George Teyechea, Rod Thompson, and Smith.
Prior to losing the hot seat match to Orender, Danny Smith
disposed of Ellerman, Bobby Emmons, Jack Rippel, Dave
Capone, and Ben Hrabina on the winners side.
The next scheduled tour stop is set for June 21st & 22nd at
Kolby's in Tempe. The format will be straight pool on, of
course, the nine foot tables.

exciting Arizona tour a huge success, including Visual
