Jeanette Lee has defeated Allison Fisher in sudden death to win the Ladies Tournament of Champions at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT.
Lee lost the first set 5-1 after missing a makeable 9-ball in rack two. That miss gave Fisher a 2-0 lead and Fisher proceeded to break & run the third rack for a 3-0 lead that Lee would not be able to carve into.
The second set started out very similar as a miss on the 6-ball in rack two gave Fisher a 2-0 lead. In the next rack, Fisher missed a 7-ball to let Lee back into the game and Lee got back to 2-1 down. The turning point of the match happened at 2-2 when Jeanette jumped to make the 4-ball and run out and she went on to win the second set.
The sudden death tie-breaker turned into a safety battle early and Lee won the battle when Fisher hit the 2-ball on a kick but scratched. Lee took ball-in-hand and ran out the rack for the $25,000 win.
