The semi-final matches of the Bella Vista Pool Tournament were played this weekend in front of an excited crowd.
Match #1: Ray Wesoloski vs. Steve Villanueva
The first game was a battle for the ages. Neck and neck to the final shot on which Ray won, but barely missed scratching on the 8-ball, which drew a large gasp from the crowd. The second was well played on both sides with Ray taking the game, hence the match 2-0.
Match #2: Don Wittmer vs. Peter Lee (no relation to the referee)
Don came out strong with a convincing game 1 victory. Peter roared back to win game 2. Game 3 was a humdinger with the “table advantage” shifting back and forth so often that the fans got whiplash. In the end, Peter prevailed and captured the match 2-1.
“Finals” and “Third place” matches will be played next weekend.
