POV Pool takes on June 2019
Hard Times First Saturday & Sunday
June 1st, 12:30pm * $20 entry * Race to 2 / 1
POV Pool returns to Hards Times Billiards in Bellflower, CA for its first Saturday 1-Pocket and Sunday 9-Ball Tournaments. Each month, pool players from across Southern California and beyond gather at the largest pool room in Los Angeles. The weekend starts with the best of LA playing 1-pocket. The usual 1-pocket gamblers leave their normal hang-outs to come out and see who is the best in the tournament. The winner comes out with bragging rights for the month, until the next, ‘first Saturday’ tournament. In rare instances someone will win several months in a row and tell this memory for years.
June 2nd, 12:30pm * $30 entry * Race to 4 / 3
Bragging rights goes without saying when you win the 9-Ball Hard Times Tournament, as well. Because Hard Times Bellflower is near LAX airport, you never what pros will drop in. That being said if you can defeat the best in Southern California and then any additional pros, you would definitely have the right to boast of your accomplishments.
