Big $$$ pool hustlers

In this video, difficult to hear the rhetoric. The white haired guy is "bucktooth", a legendary hustler...mentioned in books. The guy with the satchel is "fatman", a high roller who made a bundle in legit biz. Footage was at the Derby City Classic...an annual "tournament" that attracts many within the pool world...especially those who play for high stakes.

The way I read it on the boards is that "bucktooth" was showing a wad of bills....saying he wanted to play for $50,000. Bucktooth is notorious for this...showing a big wad, but needing "weight" from any challenger, thus giving him the edge of winning.

Fatboy unzipped his bag, pulled out his wad of 100's, said: "Let's flip for it"...

Bucktooth walked away...a 50-50 bet wasn't his bag.

Uh, glad I wasn't there....But stacks of C notes does grab the eye...
