Miller and Benoit split top prizes for the second straight time on JPNEWT stop
It was the third time, this year, that they’d faced off in a hot seat match and the second time they’d opted out of playing a final match. In their first hot-seat meetup, back in April, the tour director of the J. Pechauer Northeast Women’s Tour, Briana Miller, who was looking for her 18th win on the tour at the time, defeated Ashley Benoit (pronounced Ben-wa), who did not return from the semifinals. They met again in June and just this past weekend (Sat. July 13). In both of those events, Benoit claimed the hot seat and in the end, negotiated a split of the top two prizes with Miller. Both times, as occupant of the hot seat at the time, Benoit became the event’s official winner. This past weekend’s stop (#5) on the JPNEWT was a $750-added event (9-ball on 9 ft. tables), which drew 27 entrants to Shooter’s Family Billiards in Wayne, NJ.
