Tony Durbin (2nd) and Trey Jankowski (1st)
The thirty-sixth stop on the 2009-2010 Lucasi Hybrid All American Tour (produced by the American CueSports Alliance – ACS) was produced at Q’s Sports Bar & Girl in Port Charlotte, FL on Saturday, April 10. The $500 added event attracted 14 players from all over southwest Florida in a double-elimination 8-ball format on 7-foot bar boxes. The quarter-final winner’s side saw Wayne Agnew of Venice best Bob Buntrock of Fort Myers 4-0 as Tony Durbin of Plant City got by Rom Nichols of North Port 4-3. This set up the "rocking chair" match between Agnew and Durbin, who earned a tightly fought 4-3 win over Agnew. On the one loss side of the tournament, Shawn "Pokie" Collie of Port Charlotte, went down to Rom Nichols 4-3, as Trey Jankowski of North Port sent Bob Buntrock home to Fort Myers. This led to Jankowski drumming Agnew 4-3, setting up the final match. Jankowski, having one loss, had to beat Durbin two sets to win the event. Jankowski came to play as demonstrated with his dominant first set win 4-0. Durbin fought back the second set but came up short, and was sent back to Plant City by Jankowski’s commanding 4-2 win!
As the highest finishing ACS (American Cur Sports) league player, Jankowski also won a 9 Ball singles entry into the 2010 ACS Nationals, June 6-12th in Las Vegas.
