My purpose in having world champions try for
high runs of whatever numbers they end up with is to help gain more interest in straight pool. It’s personally my favorite game in Billiards. I’d like to see other people organize these like me but I understand it takes a huge bankroll and I love the game enough to fund it all 100% myself.
The idea wasn’t solely to beat Mosconi’s record as I figured if I put the best players on a free live stream it could create a buzz where people would watch a game that has lost its interest in playing by most players and to people that have never been exposed to seeing it played.
Jayson has made it perfectly clear to me he will keep on and on and on until he breaks a 1,000 ball run. Will he do it who knows, will someone else do it who knows but one thing is for certain I have some big news coming soon as I have talked to many World Champions this year and I have a brand new poolroom I just opened and every player I have spoke to so far wants to compete for high runs at the new poolroom and they all will get their shot at literally historic money that has never been heard of playing straight pool. There will be 12 players coming in 1 at a time and it will be the most exciting thing in straight pool for sure and each player and their play will be live streamed. How does that sound for breaking news? So stay tuned.
