Silver Nugget
Mar. 11th, 2017

Total Paid Out: $2,047.00

 

Wrap Up

Crazy 8s kicked off the competition at Silver Nugget this weekend. 11 contestants came together to produce 13 entries, which took only 4 rounds to crown the last man standing. Dave Sisler edged out Greg Mamac after going head-to-head for 2 rounds, with neither bowler recording 8 or better in the third round. Greg was unable to record 8 again, and Dave took advantage earning his entry into the opening squad, while Greg settled for a partial entry.  We would like to welcome new members Johnathan Sepanik and Mark Levine to the tour as well as Jon SnowDave Sislerand Layne Robinson for visiting from Texas. 

The main event was our Best 3 of 4 format. With 25 entries, it took a 711set to cash and we paid out a total of $2,047.00 with 5 members earning acheck. Entering the final squad was John Ferrer, who in his final game, went from frame 1 to 5 with consecutive 9 Tap strikes, giving him the lead for the 9-Tap Jackpot and a $250.00 payout and a LasVegasAdvisor.com rewards book worth over $3500.00. Leon Pitcher, for the second straight week, was our first squad high qualifier with a solid 3 game total of 777. That’s good for another free entry and a 2nd place finish worth $362.00. Life memberKen James stayed consistent putting together a nice series of 722, finishing in 3rd place for $229.00. This week, winning his 2nd 9-Tap Tour Title is Alex Watanabe! Seemingly dialed in, Alex shot back to back games of 278 and 277 with -1 pin hdcp to earn his second title and an awesome $813.00check. While the Tour does not like to bring attention to low entry counts, the positive aspect of such a day is by getting into the Progressive Pot it helped Alex take home a nice chunk of change!  Completing the "Cash List" were Vernon Nakamoto and Bradley KnepperSilver Nugget again awarded $15 food vouchers to their Hometown Kitchen to the first 4 consecutive no tap strikes or the high squad series if there were none.Robert RawlingAlex Watanabe and John Ferrer all benefited from this incentive and we would like to thank Silver Nugget for continuing to offer this promotion. 

Alex Watanabe of Henderson joined the tour back in February of 2016 at Texas Station. It only took him two events to earn his first title, that being atThe Orleans. This win makes his second of his career. Alex is one of our many regulars and a very consistent athlete. This weekend, he began with his Storm Natural,but then switched to his Storm Pitch Black that was drilled at The K & K Pro shop at Suncoast. Alex was being pushed by his buddy Eric Hatchett and cheered on by other bowlers on his pair. He would like to thank the 9-Tap Tour Staff for putting on the events and enjoys the weekly competition. Alex is an avid golfer, and will most likely be using some of his winnings for new equipment. Congratulations on your second win!
