Bryant Wins Second Fast Eddie’s Billiards Event
Fast Eddie’s Olhausen 9-Ball Tour / Pool and Billiards events / Houston, TX
The heat was on at the eighth event of the Fast Eddie’s Olhausen 9-Ball Tour, which stopped in Houston, TX, the weekend of August 12-13. With 82 players and one air conditioner on the fritz, the atmosphere was steamy, but that didn’t bother Charlie Bryant as he whipped through as cool as a cucumber to win the event undefeated.
Top picks were James Davis Sr., Jui Lung Chen, Sylver Ochoa, and Barry Emerson. The always-tough Ochoa ended up earning third place—he bested Gordon Van der Veer in the quarterfinals but came up short against Davis Sr. in the semis. Davis, a slow, quiet player, advanced to face Bryant in the final match, exhibiting quite a difference in styles and mannerisms. The powerful and energetic Bryant put on a great display of control over the table and ended up coming out the 9-7 winner over Davis, making this the second event of the year that the IPT member has won.
