The 26th stop of the 2009-2010 Lucasi Hybrid All American Tour (produced by the American CueSports Alliance – ACS) was hosted in Columbus, OH, at the 8 Ball Sports Bar & Billiards Club in Columbus, OH, January 16-17. The $750 added "Central Ohio Open" featured an 83-player Men’s Division in a double elimination 8-ball format on 7-foot Valley bar boxes. Michael Cantrell (Portsmouth, OH) captured the hot seat with a featured win over Skip Shumate (Youngstown, OH) 5-3. Skip would defeat Shane Lykens (Mansfield, OH) 5-1 for the right to meet Michael again in the tourney finals. But Michael Cantrell was just too strong, taking the finals 5-3 over Shumate.

Shannon then beat Deidra Govin (Hilliard, OH) 4-2 for the right to play Teruko in the finals. But Teruko proved to be the stronger player on this day once againwining the finals 4-2.
