The 2010 Diamond Eight edition of the Joss Tour Stop was not the same old story, as favorite Dennis Hatch was eliminated early, leaving the door open for the rest of the field. Canada natives Chris Orme and Dan Hewitt took advantage of the situation to reach the finals. Chris played brilliantly, defeating Bob Cunningham, Dwight Dixon, Dan Hewitt, Dave Fernandez and Redgie Cutler on his way to fill the hot seat. Chris made quick work of Redgie Cutler, 9-1, to send him to the 1-loss side to face Dan Hewitt, who had rolled through tough matches against Mike Zuglan, Paul Rozonowski and Bucky Souvanthong, Dan and Redgie traded games until 6-6, when Dan was able to pull away with the victory and get to the finals. Chris took an early 5-1 lead in the final match, but Dan started a comeback to get to 5. Chris was able to stay focused and stay undefeated to win the $1400. first place prize, 9-5. Payouts appear after the jump.
Congrats to Kevin Soranno, who won the $1100 Custom Joss Cue! Thanks to Mike Zuglan, all the spectators, and the field of 39 players for their support of Diamond Eight!
