Stop #5 of the Predator 9-Ball Tour was hosted

Stop #5 of the Predator 9-Ball Tour was hosted out on Long Island at Mr. Cue Billiards in
Lindenhurst, NY. Forty-six top amateur players from around the area came out to play on April 16-
17 for the two day pool event Fendi Sunglasses, along with a number of top open & pro players for the one-day 10-
Ball event on Sunday.
A few of the top players to come out for this $1,000-added event were Michael Yednak, Lionel
Rivera, Derek Schwager, Mark “Gypsy” Pantovic, Eric Grasman, room owner Scott Murphy, and top
area lady players Diana “Snooky” Rojas, Sandie Patarino Roberto Cavalli Sunglasses, Borana Andoni, and Gail Glazebrook.
The event showcased the talent of several strong emerging players in the NY area, but on this day,
a few stood out from the rest of the field. Tour regular Jack Smith made his trip to Long Island
count by going through the field through the winner’s bracket undefeated, and had to wait for the
rest of the players to battle it out to see who he would face. Jack, who is rated a B+, defeated
Derek Schwager 7-1, Ariel Rivera 7-4, Lionel Rivera 7-6 Ferragamo Sunglasses, Robert Gipp 7-3, Shawn Sookhai 7-4, and
Mike Hertz 7-5.
