Tony "The Sniper" Crosby
Bankshot Billiards, Jacksonville Florida, was the latest room to host the KF Cue Tour. The event was another record breaker with 138 players showing up for the 2 day combined Open and Amateur events.
The $1000 Added OPEN event kicked off with a very strong 54 player field with such notable names as Mike Davis, Butch Croft, Tony Crosby, James Roberts, Dave Grossman, Neil Fujiwara just to mention a few.
Stoney Stone was proving to be the man to beat, making his way to the hot seat with wins over Monica Riley 7-1, Mike Delawder 7-6, Hunter Lombardo 7-4, Jason Richko 7-4, Tony Crosby 7-6, and then another 7-6 win over Han Berber who was having a great event as well.
Tony Crosby would make his way back through the field with wins over Mike Davis 7-2, Neil Fujiwara 7-5 and a semi final win over Han Berber 7-5 for a rematch with Stoney Stone for the title. The final would see Crosby come out strong and take a 5-1 lead playing some very strong pool, Stoney would now dig deep making Crosby pay for two easy missed balls and close the score to 7-6, this was as close as it got with Crosby winning the next two racks to win the match 9-6.

AMATEUR Only Tournament Results
Steve Foster
The Amateur side would see a record breaking 84 players show up for the $700 Added event. This would make the event wide open with many top Amateur players showing up. The new guy on tour, Steve Foster was the man to beat on the day as he would go undefeated to take the hot seat with a 7-5 win over Tony Pete.
The one loss side would see several players going on great runs with newcomers Lee Scott who lost his first match and then going on to win 7 matches on the rebound before running into Floyd Reasons who sent him home in 13th place. Walter Blacker another man on the day to make it to the money won 6 matches in a row to finish in 5th position. Travis Moore from Orlando who had worked through the night to show up for this event was looking very strong with 6 wins on the one loss side to make it to the quarter final match before losing a very tough 5-4 match to Devan Storms. Storms glory would be short lived as Tony Pete would take him down leaving him in 3rd place. The final would see Tony Pete in a rematch with Steve Foster, Both players agreed to play a shorter race to 5, due to the 2 am time frame.
Foster would remain undefeated to win his first KF Title and the $600 first place prize money and Trophy. Monica Riley would finish top lady with Cassidy Mulligan taking 2nd place top lady. Bryce Lepak would prove he is one to look out for in the future with another top junior finish.
