International Open 9-Ball 2024, St. Augustine, FL, Nov. 18-22

Bulgarian player Georgi Georgiev could be in line for his biggest tournament payday ever. His top finish in the AZB database is $6k for winning the Seattle Open.
 
TVMike has a bunch of streams up on youtube, is he just pirating/restreaming them?
Don’t know Mike personally, but I do know that he schlepps his own equipment and streams a metric crap ton of pool. Look at the streaming forum and you’ll see he had been all over the country.

I really enjoy watching his product. The dude is providing a free stream, so it makes sense that he runs his own commercials; shows you some cues he has for sale. How is that any different than a sponsorship ad on a pool podcast or a banner at the top of this forum?

Hey Mike, thanks for the content. I get a kick out of your hard work. Let’s get Maki rocking’ his socks round the table o some action matches.

Indeed, these match streams are legit. Props to him and the others helping us experience this great event from our couches. His advertisements for a streaming service that plugs into your TV and includes all major channels for 25 dollars a month, not so much. I can’t imagine many people are biting on that one though.
 
Still has the highest fargo in the world.

Can't win em all, especially when you scratch 2 times on break and once kicking at a ball. Brutal
Filler is #2 on the worldwide money list this year. Like Gorst, he might have lost seemingly early this event but he’s doing fine.

5th place is never a bad result in a field as deep as this one!
 
Niels is definitely having a resurgence in some of the biggest tournaments. He reminds me of Adam Scott on the golf circuit. Can he snap one off?

no doubt he can, he already beat shaw, fedor and filler! also beat filler to win the european 14.1 championship some months ago. niels has the winning mentality and has been there before many times.

he would be the oldest winner of a big time WNT event. i think he's 47 or 48, so quite impressive if he pulls it off.

If he can get over his student body and just play, he is entirely capable. So is any of the other moshers. It's whomever has the hall pass.
 
I'm no Filler fan but some of the reactions/responses to his loss are laughable. Nobody wins every match especially playing 9b. He's going to be one of the dominant players for years to come. Just hope he grows out of being a butthurt victim.
 
jasonlaus' take on it above is fairly accurate, might even have been 3 break scratches for filler. not many misses. still very impressive play from the terminator
 
Hang the 9 and I in the front Row. SJM nowhere to be found!

Relax, everyone. SJM is here.

Yes he is, finally got to meet my pool hero in person :)

Turns out that Labutis is from the same city I was born in, Vilnius, and he went to the same school as my father. I got to have a nice chat with him for a few minutes before and after the match.
