Causey, McCartney Share Top Honors; Eadie Middle; Hashemloo, McLaughlin  Lower Section of Billy's III
Charlotte NC 4-16-05:  
A moderate turnout of 24 of the Metrolina area's most contageous competitors converged upon Billy's Restaurant in order compete in Billy's III. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the friendly and professional wait staff and management, extraordinary reasonably priced cuisine and modern sports bar design of the recently renovated facility. (Playing in a completely silent, upstairs private room seems to be a welcome change, as well).

Fuerstman (2034) was crushed by the good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker (1804). Meanwhile, in the first two rounds, David "the Cause" Causey (1933) from Charleston, SC dispatched of Ken "the Terrible" Ivens (1768) and the good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker (1804) before securing a hard earned Draw (See Game 0472) with Patrick "Fabio" McCartney (1989) who had defeated Gary "Sandbagger" Branton (1800) and Matthew "the Bean" Green (1903) each with 2.5-.5 pocketing $75. In the Middle Section, Dave  "Ameen" Eadie (1597) reeled off wins over Samuel "Reshevsky" Xin (1412), Asheboro organizer Tom Hales (1644) and Dan "Marino"  Andrzjewski (1777) to score 3-0 and take home $100. Equal 2nd-4th were Octavius "0-0" Obey (1511), Samuel "Reshevsky" Xin and Dan "Marino" Andrzjewski each with 2-1 winning $17. In the Lower Section, =1st-2nd were Duncan "Doughnuts" McLaughlin  (1269) and Hassan "HH" Hashemloo (1183) each with 2-1 pocketing $30. To observe all results view (Crosstable).
