The 2009-2010 Lucasi Hybri All American Tour (produced by the American CueSports Alliance – ACS) showcased stop #9 on Saturday, November 7, at Pockets Billiards in Crestwood, IL. The $500 added event featured eighteen players in a double-elimination 8-ball format on 7-foot bar boxes. Ike Runnels (Kankakee, IL) topped off his undefeated run to the tourney finals by taking down Gene Albrecht (Eau Claire, WI) in the A-side semifinals 7-3 and outpointing Jack Wu (Chicago, IL) 7-4 in the A-side finals. On the B-side Jack Wu eliminated Kevin Potter (Palos Heights) at 4th place and continued his run back to the A-side by eliminating Gene Albrecht 5-4. That set up the tourney finals which needed only one set, as Ike Runnels again vanquished Jack Wu 7-4 for the title!
