Assault with a Cue Ball/8-Ball

A woman of Massillon, Ohio was attacked by another woman in a local Taco Bell drive-through. According to one source, she was attacked by a cue ball, and according to another one, it was an 8-ball covered by a sock which caused the attacked woman to lose two of her teeth and suffer from severe bruises in her face.

According to the Police and eye witnesses, the reason for the assault was impatience. Apparently, the attacking woman who stood behind the attacked one in a car, couldn’t tolerate with the latter indecision regarding her Taco Bell order, so she stepped out of the car and hit her with the sock filled with cue ball (or was it an 8-ball?)

Southeast Asian Games

The Philippines billiards team is ruling the 24th Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games). The men’s 8-ball singles gold was gained by Ronnie “Toothless” Alcano, former World 9-ball pool, who’ve beat his Singapore contestant. The women’s gold in 9-ball singles was captured by Rubilen Amit, while Philippines’ currently number 1 8-ball pool player had only made it to the bronze in the women’s 8-ball singles.

The Owner and the Winner

Apparently, when it comes to 8-ball and 9-ball competitions, you can be both the owner and the winner. Take for example Zheng Jian Qing , the owner of “Top Pool Bar”. On october 21st, while defeating Roger “The Ghost” Espiritu, he won the Top Pool Bar Professional 8-Ball Billiards Tournament!!!

The prize pool kept 75$ for the first place and 45$ for the second but still -
Winning an eight-ball competition in a bar is a winning, even when you’re the owner…

For those who would like to join these 8 and 8-ball competetions at “Top Pool Bar”, a professional 9-ball billiards tournament is set for the next Saturday, Nov. 3rd.

GOOD LUCK and beware of the owner…

Zheng is again inviting Saipan’s elite billiards players to take part in the Top Pool Bar Professional 9-Ball Billiards Tournament set for next Saturday, Nov. 3.

The Top Pool Bar Professional 8-Ball Billiards Tournament, meanwhile, will push through Saturday, Nov. 3. Registration for both tournaments start at 7pm.
