World 9 ball championship final match
Somebody in Saudi Arabia must have really wanted the championship to be played there. The winner walked off with a cool $1/4 million. Usually, a top pro is lucky to win that much in a year.
Some still consider Fedor Gorst Russian...but he represents the USA now. Has a permanent work Visa, is going through the hoops to become a USA citizen...the same process that many of our ancestors went through...including my maternal Grandfather who came from Ireland. The match highlights. Hope our Captn. Carerra (Dixie) can learn a bit by watching these boys play.

That jump shot in rack 8 was neat.

Yeah, Fedor among the best at jumping...
Definitely a skill level you don't see in your local bar...as a fan, I'd say either Fedor or Germany's Josh Filler are both the top of the cream at the top today. But on any given day, there are easily 100 players worldwide who could take off a major tournament. Makes for fun watching for us pool junkies. Being a single sport, anybody can have a bad to great day...
