Good movie. Probably one of Tom's best but Paul Newman was a stand out.

I'd say the majority of tables in that movie were Brunswick of various vintages...this scene obviously a gold crown...1960's if I had to guess. The movie sort of a follow up from "The Hustler" made in the early 60's.
Newman (fast Eddie) pissed at Cruise (Vince) in this scene because he was supposed to lose to "Lamar" in order to score big against a local bookie. Lots of "insider" jokes in that flick. For example, the big guy who "lost" to Newman in the tournament scene who said "I didn't deserve that"? None other than the late great "The Miz", Steve Mizerack, (sp?) A many times world champion.
