yes, and i think he would gamble a lot more were he not to be in the finals of events so often. last year he was gonna play lunda 1p for 10 or 20k but it fell through because of the 9b tournament. and of course he won that 9b banner.

thorsten is a good answer though. i don't think i've ever heard of him playing a money match, and he's among americans so much he became one

I doubt that these is an American that can win it on paper. Even SVB seems to lose his top game and l don’t consider Fedor as American either, but anything can happen with the luck of the draw and who signs up for the event.

The US Open used to be a big deal, the second biggest and important tournament after the world 9ball. Now they are both just another WNT major points in the tour. So any major that will be won by an American will be the same achievement, yet I can’t see it happening.

Well, it was a single challenge match, but Willie Hoppe said he won over $50,000 when he beat Vignaux in 1906. With inflation, that's more than $1.8 million.
