Jeremy McHugh Wins Drifter
Invitational
The Drifter
Invitational was based on league play. Thirty-nine of the top
64 (the invitees) and five buy-ins competed for a purse of nearly
$1500! The tournament was seeded according to the Drifter
Rankings (see Ranking page). McHugh was the second seeded
player in the tournament. He lived up to his seeding, making
his way undefeated to the end of the winner's bracket. There
he waited while Kevin Sullivan, the number 11 seed, dispatched the
losers side. In the final, both players started off with
costly errors, and the first two games were split. The
intesity picked up as the next three games included many well made
strategic plays. After that, Jeremy was up three to
two. Jeremy put himself in a commanding position with
another win, but Kevin wasn't done. A quick run out got him
within a game. In game eight, Kevin nearly ran out,
but turned the table over with one ball left. It appeared
Jeremy would close it out. A flubbed shot however, gave
Kevin a glimmer of hope. A gutsy slow rolled shot past another
ball and a tough back-cut evened the match. Jeremy then went
to work, placing several pin-pont leaves to get to the eight and
claim the championship.
