Looking at the top is Darren Appleton who made almost all of his money at the Chinese 8 ball event which is also the main reason for the top Chinese players .The year is half over, and i see that The DCC is responsible for a most Warren Kiamco's and Alex Pagulayans's earnings. This past weekend with the Big Tyme Classic on bar tables , bumped up Alex considerably. Dennis Orcollo has won virtually all his money in the USA as well as Alex and all the American players and Canadian John Morra .
All of the Americans and John Morra won most of their money on bar tables , in locally promoted and funded events with player auctions . The WPA World 10 Ball Championships were funded by a professional boxer , will it happen again next year ?There are 3 European players in the top 25 and they are all British , and Shaw earned all his money in the US. I think Partypoker funds an event in the Netherlands , that pays well , are there any other big events happening in Europe that are worth the air fare ?
Are there any events in Europe funded by pool rooms and player auctions ? Any events funded by local pool rooms and player auctions in Canada that have decent payouts ? Skylar Woodward is probably making close to a living on 7 footers . The Big Tyme Classic was dominated by foreign players who probably were there because of the player auction money.
Other than big online sports betting and card rooms is anyone else funding pool in Europe ? Will Canada ever host events like Chinook Winds or the US Bar Table Championships , Smoking Aces or Carom Room events ? Buffalo Billiards N.O. or Turning Stone ?
One off events and few other events are funding pool right now , CSI , Mark Zuglan , the DCC promoters and a few room owners , and i forgot White Diamonds Chris Miller ?Pool is grass roots and will probably always be that way.Professional Pool players are those that make a living from it , not those associated with any organization or rated and sanctioned by them .
