This week we paid out nearly $10K with 154 total entries and 31 bowlers making the Cash Listh at HiLine Lanes in Burien. The Cut-Line wound up at 914 after teeter tottering throughout the day and we wound up with four bowlers over 1000 and our eventual winner having the best performance since joining the tour! 

The 9-Tap Jackpot was never really threatened this week, but Chuck Hufford, Don Moseng & Oscar Gestoso all hit the front four for $150.00 each. Now, we're at $9,025.00, over the $9K mark for just the second time ever and we're more than six years removed from the first time when many of us surely recall Earl Kleist taking it down for the largest Jackpot payout we've ever had!  We remind everyone that the Jackpot costs just ONE DOLLAR a game to enter and it could be YOU that has that lucky day! 

Thang Thai remains on fire after winning a few weeks ago as he shot 1013 this week for 4th Place and $255.00. The aforementioned Gestoso's $150 jackpot consolation wasn't all for him as he fired off at 1021 for 3rd Place and another $539.00. It isn't often 2nd Place pays so high, but with such a padded progressive pot, this week we paidDan Grass and his 1034 performance $1,073.00. We wanted to mention that Dan told us that someone had likely inadvertently taken one of his bowling balls home with them. Just as a reminder, with many of us using the same type of equipment, please take a second to make sure that you are certain that you are leaving with YOUR stuff and not someone else's. 

The big winner this week, is Andrew Scalf! Andrew joined the tour just a couple of years ago and on Saturday, put together his best performance to date, firing a 1073 for the MONSTER $2,405.00 pay day!  This was Andrew's first tour win as he wore his Dexter SST5shoes and used his Storm 'Crux Prime' ball drilled up by Randy Macomber over at Tower Lanes pro shop. Scalf does most of his league bowling over at Paradise Lanes and said "Earlier in the week I felt that I had a good shot because of how well I've been bowling." He added that he plans to bowl more with us and said he'd use some of his winning share to buy new equipment. Andrew wanted to give his friend Scottie Fulp a shout out for cheering him on and added a big thank you to the guys he bowled with, Jeremy Truitt &Bob Felix for their encourgement! Great Job & Congratulations Andrew!
