WBPA Great Lakes Classic 2008 Final Four
June 29th, 2008 by PCN
Lots of action to report on. After getting shown up in the Gen Pool event earlier this month, it looks like the WPBA vets came out to play. Our girl Sarah Rousey lost a heartbreaker to Ga Young Kim, coming from behind to tie it up at 7-7 and then dropping the last two racks. Great tournament for my favorite little pixie though.
In other action, Allison took down Tiffany 9-5 and Brit-Brit eeked out a win against Megan Minerich (great tourney Megan!) 9-8 to set up the rematch from the GP semis. This time, Allison took Anna K. to the woodshed and just drilled her 9-1 to set up yet another matchup with Karen Corr, who took down J-Thug in the quarters 9-5.
On the bottom half of the bracket, defending champ Xiaoting Pan lost to Kelly Fisher 9-8, putting Fisher 2.0 into the semis. The big surprise though came in the last bracket cluster. After squeaking by Sarah, Ga Young Kim was knocked out of the tournament by Monica Webb 9-7, setting up a quarterfinal match of Monica Webb v. Sarah Ellerby, who hasn’t been seen since she showed off her rockin’ new bod in Pool & Billiards Magazine. Ellerby proceeds to take down Monica 9-7 to put her in the semis and the TV round against Fisher 2.0. Huge congrats to Sarah Ellerby! By the way, if you want to know how she dropped the lbs, there’s a great feature article about her at RunnersWorld.com.
So there you have it. Your Final Four is Allison Fisher v. Karen Corr and Kelly Fisher v. Sarah Ellerby.

I love your blog. I just need a glossary for all the nicknames.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing! I’ll have to put one up, since I know some of my references can be a little obscure and/or completely bizarre.

About the Mosconi Cup
The Mosconi Cup is an annual nine-ball pool tournament contested between teams representing Europe and USA since 1994. Each team will have 5 players. The trophy is named after the American player William Mosconi and it has been referred to as the “Ryder Cup of Pool”. This is an event which is shown live in the UK. Sky Sports shows this event every year with over 20 hours of coverage across Sky sports 1 & 2 & 3.
This year, this exciting tournament will be played at the Hilton Malta Conference Centre (11-15.12.2008).
Last year, the Mosconi cup was in Las Vegas. This is good news for Malta in that, the main organisers of the Mosconi Cup Matchroom have entrusted this event to be held in Malta. It is probably due to the success and reputation Malta has obtained from the annual Snooker Malta Cup which has put Malta on the Snooker Calendar for the last 12 years.
