Daulton Master of the Table
Shannon “The Cannon” Daulton punctuated his claim as All-Around Champion at the Derby City Classic in Louisville, Ky., Saturday night by winning the multi-discipline tournament’s 9-ball division. The 28-year-old Kentuckian, who had already clinched the event’s all-around crown prior to the 9-ball division finale, defeated Finland’s Mika Immonen, 7-4, to earn the $8,000 top prize. With his $5,000 prize as All-Around Champion, and $1,675 earned in the 9-Ball Banks and One-Pocket divisions, Daulton’s weeklong stay at the Derby City Classic garnered him $14,675. Jose Parcia, winner of the 9-Ball Banks event, was second in the all-around race. Buddy Hall earned he $5,000 One-Pocket title.
Sigel Back at the Table – and Back on Top
“Captain Hook” was back in action.
Sigel took a single loss, 10-8, to Buddy Hall early in the competition, despite pulling ahead early on with a 7-0 lead. On the one-loss side, Sigel pounded through seven straight wins to earn himself another chance at taking down “The Rifleman.” The final saw neither player gaining much of an advantage as the two living legends swapped the lead. Sigel put on a burst of speed to close it out, however, taking the last three racks for an 11-9 victory.
