October 2023 Recap

October was sure filled with tournaments as we started out the first weekend with APA Regionals. It was a fun-filled weekend and we would like to congratulate all those that won. Unfortunately, we do not have the list of winners to be able to inform everyone.

Following the APA Regionals, we welcomed the Lone Star Billiards tour. Johnny Griffin and Eric Aicinena captured their respective divisions at the final Poison Lone Star Event of 2023! Griffin went undefeated to win the 64-player, amateur 9-ball division, defeating newcomer, Joe Aguilar, in the final, 5-2. Aicinena also went unmatched in the 64-player, open 9-ball division, besting Leon Contreras in the final match, 6-2. To learn more about this tour, click here.
