Shawn Putnam is arguably one of the top professional pool players in Ohio today. He certainly convinced a field of 52 players in a Race to 11, Double Elimination 9-Ball Tournament on the small tables, at Fiddlestix on January 12 & 13. Putnam ran through the field, unscathed, winning the winners bracket and then the entire event in convincing fashion beating 2nd Place finisher Brian Frank 11-3 in the final match. He opened the finals with a 5-pack, followed by Frank’s 3-pack, and then another 4-pack and then out. While we can argue Putnam is the top player in northern Ohio, hats off to Brian Frank who may be the best amateur player in the area today. Brian also went unbeaten until he played Putnam – twice. Frank was put in the loser’s bracket by Putnam and then had to face him a second time in the end. Finishing third and fourth respectively was Brandon Hallet, from Toledo and Shayne Morrow, out of Wheeling, WV. Fiddlestix extends their appreciation to all participants and Nick Steel for running the Calcutta. Next, Fiddlestix is hosting an 8-Ball Marathon on March 1st and 2nd. Click here for details
