Mike Dunklin

Never even heard of him and that's not far from here. There's only 5 names on there I recognize from Southern Illinois, a handful towards the top from the quad cities minus Bowman and 2 at the top are more St Louis players. I talked with Dunklin at a tourney once, he's a really nice guy and highly respected by all the top players. He was telling stories and one time him an Hennessee won some $ in Danville, Il then got robbed!!

I have heard the story behind them being robbed.
 
If he or anyone can put me in touch with Sammy, I potentially have a match for him. 8 ball last pocket on bar table.
8 ball last pocket.
I was going to tell you to call Ritchie Idrovo but I discovered he is no longer with us.
He was the guy to call for last pocket 8 ball in that area for many years.

Whoa. I met him. I actually asked him specifically about Sammy. He knew him. I asked him if he could beat Sammy and he answered with a resounding NO. He was really good though. He was young. Do you know what happened? That's sad.

Bad things. Google can tell you.
Ritchie was not near the best in the area but he was the only good player I knew who played that game.
