tf Sigel Stands Alone ^ \

The Sands Regent Hotel & Casino attracted

eighty-one professionals to ita bi-annual

$20,000 added Sands Regent 9-8a11 Open. After

all the dust had cleared, Mike Sigel was $10,000

richer and no one was surprised. He has been

dominating the pro tour all year and it seems

that no matter what the rulea are, or how long

the race is, or what format is used, Sigel

outlasts everyone.

Sigel posted an 8-1 record and from the loaera1

bracket defeated David Howard for the title. He

averaged a .902 TPA for the entire tournament

which included four .900fs, the high run of five

racks, and two runs of four racks. No one else

was able to run over three I

Nick Varner played exceptionally well recording

the highest TPA tournament average of .911. He

suffered losses in two matches in which neither

of his opponents missed a ball. It seemed that

that was the only way anybody was going to beat

him.

Jay Helfert and his newly forwed company Jaymac

Productions were on hand the laat day to

(continued on page 15)

Notable Hatches Allen Hopkins (.957) never missed a ball as he

shut out Wade Crane (.500) 9-0.

After running five of six racks, Carl Strickland

(.922) finally let Dsrrell Nordquist (.375)

"see" a ball, just enough to play a safety. The

tide never turned as Strickland whipped

Nordquist 9-0.

David Nottingham (.833) defeated Chris MacDonald

(.840) 9-6 while making the nine ball on the

break three times (including twice in a row),

and also making three combinations on the nine!

Despite a first inning miss and trailing 1-3,

Danny D'leperio (.941) never missed another ball

as he stung Kia Davenport (.875) with a near

perfect match and a 9-6 win.

Jean Balukas (.771) drew Earl Strickland (.920)

for her initiation into the men's division.

Strickland dominated the game to a 9-3 victory.

Nick Varner (.960) shot 1.000 for the first five

racks against JM Flowers (.632). Enroute to his

9-1 win, Varner scratched on the break twice and

missed position once, that's all.

Jiaeiy Rogers (.706) will be remembered as the

first of many to fall victim to the talented

Jean Balukas (.793) during a men's division

9-ball tournament. Balukas won 9-4.

Earl Strickland (.952) never missed a ball and

kept Mike Ziaawrman (.800) in the chair most of

the tine. Strickland ran nine ball8 seven times

and defeated Zimmerman 9-3.

Mike Sigel (.877) took the early lead 4-0. Ron

Roeae (.789) won the next six racks while

preventing Sigel from pocketing a single ball.

Notable Hatches (continued from page 3)

Sigel won the next four racks and Rosas the next

two. Score 8-8. During the final rack Rosas

missed a makeable five ball in the side and lost

8-9.

Al Winchenbaugh (.600) had only three chances to

even pocket a ball as Nick Varner (.900)

dominated the match to a 9-0 victory.

Jay Swanson (.780) never stood much of a chance

after taking the lead 7-2 over Greg Fix (.887).

Fix won the next seven racks to win 9-7.

Just like several matches before him, Jiany Reid

(.972) never missed a ball as he defeated Dick

Megiveron (.667) 9-1 in a near perfect match.

Roy Futternick (.904) shot the highest TPA while

losing. An unanticipated acratch in the side

pocket during the last rsck cost him dearly as

he lost to Warren Costanzo (.885) 8-9.

Mike Sigel (.922) had nine opportunities to run

out during this session. He ran out each time.

In his zero-miss victory, he outpointed Jose

Parica (.838) 9-7.

Dave Bollawn (.167) managed to pocket one ball

during the drubbing given to him by Nick Varner

(.976). Varner shot 1.000 for the last 7 racks

of his 9-0 win.

Hike Sigel (.976) shot the best match of the

tournament as he broke and ran out five racks in

a row, ran 53 balls in rotation, and handcuffed

Nick Varner (.810) 9-2.

In the best match played by both players, Allen

Hopkins (.920) closed out Ron Roaaa (.911) 9-6.

David Howard (.935) scratched on the break three

times but did everything else right thus serving

Mike Sigel his only loss while winning 9-1.

After a slow start and down 2-7, Hike Sigel

(.894) struggled to win two more games against

David Howard (.803). Yet after Howard missed a

bank, Sigel ran the next forty-three balls and

out to win 9-7.

Sigel & Balukas So What's New?

^

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (12/14-19/86) - As if Mike Sigel

and Jean Balukas haven't won enough tournaments

already this year, they capped off their best year

ever with the largest prizes in 9-ball history.

Sigel was presented with $40,000 in cold cash as

Balukas was treated with $10,000. Not bad for a

week's work.

Jack Johnston, VP of Casino Operationa apparently

had the right formula for attracting players. A

$100 entry fee and $50,000 in added prize money

drew nearly 400 player8 to compete in the double

elimination event. Tournament director Bill Staton

enlisted Pat Fleming as co-director to coordinate

the schedule and to keep the flow of matches. There

was non-stop play from 9-5, 9AM til 5AM that is!

Twenty Gandy tables were required so as to

eliminate all but nine players for the last two

days. ESPN was there to tape the last two day's

action. To accomodate the TV media, a forty second

clock was used to keep the game moving at a normal

pace. A ten aecond warning was given when

neccessary.

After losing his third match to Jose Parica 7-9,

Mike Sigel trudged through the losers' brscket of

the 356 player field. In fact, the day before the

TV matches, Sigel played for twenty hours straight!

He posted a 15-1 tournament record. He defeated

Steven Brown, Howard Barrett, Mike Serber, Ron

Durante, Louie Roberts, Ed Sheahan, Jay Swanson,

Sammy Guzman, George Michaels, Gary Nolan, Dave

Faver, Danny Medina, Jose Parica, Jose Garcia and

finally Nick Varner. The final match against Nick

Varner was unique in that the "instant replay" was

utilized to help make a decision. It actually did

not have an effect on the call though because of

the wrong camera angle.

Jean Balukas had her easiest time yet never being

threatened as she breezed undefeated (6-0) through

the thirty-seven women field. She defeated Judy

Meng, Sherry Sampson, Kelly Simpson, Linda Haywood,

Susan Bishop, and Fran Crimi. Crimi played a steady

game all week despite a two year layoff from

tournament play.

Another event is planned for 1987. The in-the-money
