Stop #4 of the Mezz LA 9 Ball Series at Good Times Billiards started out with a tough field of SoCal pool players, with Keegan “K9” Badour (637) taking down his FIRST tournament win in the series! Keegan had a great run, going undefeated all 6 rounds and beating Kevin Nakamura (526) 8-4 in a single 8/6 race final.
Keegan started the tournament out very strong, defeating Ken Johnson (639) in the first round, followed by a decisive win in round 2 over TD Rudy Torres (598). He had subsequent strong wins over Stop #2 & #3 Champion Michael Hansen (568), followed by a defeat of current #1 Jose G Centeno (650), and finally Dexter Villapando (546) to capture the hot seat and his place in the finals.
Kevin had a great tournament as well, coming out the gate quick with a win over Rhino Lay (618) in round 1 and a win over Tim Traver (563) before taking a loss to Jose G Centeno. From the one-loss side, Kevin put together a pool clinic and winning 5 straight matches to get to the final, including wins over Ken Johnson, Chaokun Li (592), Jamal Oussi (619), newcomer Darwin Bernadaz (653) and finally Dexter Villapando.
