One bad commentator can sure overshadow a good one. So far Kantrowitz is the star imho- Fingers 2nd.
BTW-Ginky never won the World Straight Pool Championship in any form-sanctioned or unsanctioned. He won the National Straight Pool Championship.

Just to piggyback on your post, the 2000 event was a US Open, not a World event. Ginky didn't win it, Ralf did. I don't even think Ginky was in this one.

Any idea who is next on the streaming table? The original schedule had Efren. I guess that isn't happening.

earl beat charlie williams, not sure of final score.
Charlie did not make past the round robin groups. So, Reas must be talking about the earlier match.
I sat near Earl during the match with Archer. He kept talking about how lucky Archer was because Archer kept getting good rolls. I wanted to tell him that he was in Queens. If he wanted good rolls he would have to go to Brooklyn where they have the best bakeries. But, I kept my mouth shut.
He just kept going on and on about how the only way players can beat him is if they get all the good rolls. He never gets good rolls. He has no respect for the skill of the other players. Archer played a great match.
