Pool Players Versus Billiard Players For Two Exciting Nights
During the first two nights of the preliminary rounds at this year's USBA national three-cushion championship, pool players lined up three deep to accept Professor-Q-Ball's challenge: a race to five against one of the billiard players in the tournament, with the pool player getting the break shot and some instruction from a three-cushion player. With no entry fee and the chance to win $15, pool players anxiously chalked their cues, but, after two days, and 70 challenge matches, the three cushion billiard players triumphed, winning 63 and losing only 7.

Pedro Piedrabuena again proved to be the best three-cushion player in the United States, winning his third consecutive USBA national championship and sixth overall, by besting a field of 42 at Allen Hopkins Super Billiards Expo in Edison, New Jersey. In the final game, Piedrabuena defeated an old rival, Hugo Patiño, 40-24 in 31 innings. With his victory, Pedro Piedrabuena earned the right to play in the Pan American Championship (PAC) tournament in the week of June 17 Colombia. Joining him will be Patiño. In addition, Mazin Shooni will also play as he and Piedrabuena were unable to play in last year's PAC because of a calendar conflict.
