Kenny C. Wins Inaugural King of the Box Tournament at Packy's Sports Pub

On August 30, 2026, Packy's Sports Pub successfully hosted the inaugural 'King of the Box' pool tournament, attracting 21 amateur players. The double-elimination format delivered thrilling matches, with a total prize pool of $3,420, including $2,100 from the main pot and $1,320 from the Calcutta auction. The champion was Kenny C., earning $1,050 after defeating Brad H. twice – in the winners' bracket and the final. Brad H., despite losing the first match, fought admirably by winning five consecutive elimination matches in the losers' bracket to reach the final but could not upset Kenny C. In the Calcutta auction, Chris C. paid 100% of Kenny C.'s value and split equally among 2nd-4th places, signaling strong confidence in the player. The 'King of the Box' tournament promises to become an annual event, boosting the local pool scene at Packy's Sports Pub and surrounding areas.
