Castle Billiards (WPBA Pro Megan Smith) The first Tri-State Tour event of the year (and the decade!) was held at Castle Billiards on January 2nd, 2010.  Being hosted at one of the area’s most popular and player-friendly rooms helped draw 45 of the top amateur players in the area to this 10-ball event. Meeting in the final four on the winner’s side were Cory Sohlman , Fred Beierle , Joe Varvaro , and John Stiles .  To move on to the final two, Beierle would come through to defeat Sohlman in a hill-hill tiebreaker, while Stiles cleanly defeated Varvano 7-3.  However, Joe Stiles would not prevail over Beierle in the match for the hot seat, where Fred Beierle dominated 7-4. While Stiles waited for the one-loss side, there were plenty of battles to be fought on the comeback bracket.  In the one-loss final 8, Castle room owner John Trobiano prevailed over tour regular Raphael DaBreo.  However, Trobiano would be eliminated by Ra Hanna (6-2), who trounced Raj Vannala 7-1 in the final 8.  Similarly, Jim DeGiasafatto defeated Ken Debroskie 6-2 to move on to the final four.
