For those who think Orcullo isn't above deceit to win you may remember this from post from June of last year.
Hi, This is Rob Melrose and I just got back from Tunica and saw this thread and I will tell you exactly what happened so there is NO misunderstanding. Woody has it pretty close to what happened and I was put in a brutal spot with the move Dennis pulled, HOWEVER Dennis had ZERO chance of winning this set. The room is the Action room and when you enter you enter at your own risk. Everyone in there is trying to get the best of the game with everyone else in the room that is just the nature of pool. So here is what happened.
A year or 2 ago I saw Scooter get ball in hand from Dennis playing 9 ball and Dennis lost quite a bit of money. So I was sitting in the Action by the table me and Dennis ended up playing on. He was looking for action so i asked him for 11 to 6 playing one pocket and he said no. Then I remembered Scooter and I figured Dennis wouldn't give up the break and ball in hand again to anyone playing 9 ball but 10 ball because its alot tougher maybe he would go for it. Im about 330 lbs. and I do not look like a pool player so when I asked for the game Dennis jumped on it. If the player can't beat the ghost or come real close to beating it even Dennis has a good chance to win. We agreed on a race to 15 for $ 1000 and we posted the money on the light. He was literally running to get the money from his backers. As soon as we posted the money he had lost it. My only thinking was trying to get 2 sets out of him not 1. I got off to a big lead to make sure to get control and than I decided to change how I was playing the game to give him opportunities at the table. Let me just say playing Dennis this game is the closest you get to actually playing the ghost because he gets out from everywhere. At 8 to 8 Im thinking now that he thinks he can win.. INSTEAD he says I quit its 8 to 8 and I don't like the game and I want my money back!! This from someone who is considered the worlds best gambler and money player in pool.. I couldn't believe it.. MAYBE i could see this happening in some bar somewhere for $ 10 but in ACTION room on a Live Stream with alot of the top pros sitting right there watching and betting on it.. you have to be kidding me. I told Dennis he is not quitting we are finishing the set we posted the money and we are playing the set out.. How many guys do you think Dennis has let out of sets who couldn't win? answer.. ZERO. When he thought i was a duck he couldn't post the money on the light fast enough after the first 6 games he knew he was screwed.. So again he says, " I don't like the game I want my money back".. I said we are finishing the set, you made the bet and we are playing this out. He broke his cue down and put it in his case.. THIS WAS ALL A MOVE on Dennis's part just trying to get me angry and off my game.. I must say that this was the most brutal move I have ever witnessed in pool.. PERIOD. I told him and the entire room for the 3rd time that if he doesn't finish the set he is forfeiting the money and Im taking it down and NOBODY better get near the table.. At this point ALOT of people in the room including his fellow pros were yelling.. he forfeits, that set is over take the money.. He thought his move was cute until I reached up and put the money in my pocket and than he couldn't get his cue back together fast enough.. Only one person in the entire room said something and that was because he had a $ 100 side bet and didn't want to pay off the forfeit. Him and my backer gary got into an argument.. The guy from Detroit was dead in the wrong just like Dennis was.. I knew we were on Live Stream and it was starting to escalate.. I had already offered to let Dennis buy out for $ 500 because he couldn't win.. I decided to pull Dennis outside the room into the hallway and he begged and cried and said he borrowed the money so it was so disgusting that I let him out for $ 150. A total gift.. This from what is considered the best money player and gambler.. what a joke!! ... Then afterwards after its over he has the balls to say.. " you made the game not me. I don't know you.." meanwhile he thought he knew me pretty well when he was running to post the money on the light.. Then comes the absolute kicker.. he has the further balls to say that in his country if you are playing a race and its tied if one player wants to quit he can just take the money down!! YEAH RIGHT I asked Shane, Corey, Ronnie Wiseman, and Scott Frost and they all laughed and said Dennis is full of shit.. None of those guys could believe he pulled that creepy of move. So I guess if Shane and Dennis are playing a race to 21 9 ball for $ 20,000 and the score is tied 20 to 20 and Dennis is breaking if Shane wants to quit its ok? YEAH RIGHT lmfao I knew this was Live Streamed by and even though Dennis forfeited that money I could just see this whole thing getting turned around online and people saying some big guy stole Dennis money while Dennis wanted to finish the set.. So I made sure and Big Truck told me that Dennis lost alot of credibility with the people watching. Like Corey and Scott told me and they are right after he pulls that move you can't go back and finish the set because now you have to win the set twice and your angry.. It was just a flat out creepy move by Dennis. He knew he couldn't win the set so by pulling this move he figured he had nothing to lose... Now ask yourself can you imagine Efren, Busty or Alex pulling this kind of move? no chance they have to much class.
I know one thing he lost all his credibilty with the pros that were betting on him even, they all said that he forfeited and shouldn't have gotten any money back. I just wanted to clear up exactly what happened.
Thanks Rob Melrose
