This is excellent. In comparison, I have been watching the World Summit of pool here in NYC, where the two finalist will compete tonight for a lousy $10,000. You just walk around all these fantastic pool players who are competing for peanuts. And many of the great players have all been eliminated. Cory Deule, Tony Robles, Santos Sambajon, Rondey Morris, Luc Salvas, Danny Basavitch. It just makes me sad to see all these guys walk away with a tiny bit of cash, if any, after spending money on entry fees, airfair, hotels, food, etc. I wish I was a little better off so I could kick in some prize money.
