BUFFALO'S PRO CLASSIC 2026

that's pretty funny, post match photoshoot, evan "am i holding on to the money or you??", fedor "i'm holding on to the money, you're my horse!"

weird situation for sure. i've seen players buying players but never both ending up in the final.

as i said on page one, evan was undervalued in the calcutta. previous winner, routinely beats the other top players, has a great temperament and is still improving
 
Congratulations to Evan Lunda on capturing his 2nd Buffalo’s Pro Classic One Pocket Championship!
And congratulations to Fedor Gorst on an incredible runner-up finish after one of the toughest battles of the entire event.

The finals turned into an absolute war — a grueling two-set showdown that went hill-hill before Evan finally came out on top.
The level of play, heart, and pressure-packed shots from both players made this a championship match fans won’t forget anytime soon.

What a match. What an event.
World-class One Pocket from start to finish.

Great shooting, guys!

Love this photo! Congratulations to both players.

Fedor, all gussied up in a sports jersey with Burberry plaid trim, a designer belt buckle, and sponsor patches, looking like he just stepped off a sports fashion runway. Meanwhile, Evan’s dressed for comfort and wins.

Is Evan Lunda American? I do not know much about his background. I'm wondering if there's Mosconi Cup possibilities for Team USA. We need new blood!

There were social media rumblings about Fedor having a possible interest in dumping since he had part of Evan Luna in the Calcutta. He quickly squashed that thought, and I do believe him, 100 percent.

The only crime I see is him not including the Oxford comma in the last sentence of the second paragraph. :)

Detroit area JAM. Keith can ask Wiseman about Evan.

Evan grew up playing out of my private club (RAC) then my pool room (The Rack). His dad Elliott (Frenchy) still plays and always plays for something $ 😁.

When he was about 9-10 years old he’d hide on the floor in the back of his dads car until Frenchy got to the pool room (Bogarts) and then he’d pop out and would get to stay. It was too far to take him home and come back again. 😂

We’d babysit Evan and his brother Eron (RIP 😢) and all Evan wanted to do was play. I’d try to make him practice straight pool but he just loved one pocket and golf on the 6x12. He couldn’t play by himself more than 5 minutes at a time so he was always playing someone.

He was a handful when he was young but he’s become a great great father (2 beautiful girls, teenagers now 😱) and a good man.

When they change the Mosconi Cup format to One Pocket, sure! He'd be my #1 pick.

Not so sure he performs this well in 9ball.

Dude has the face of a movie star though, I think he's in the wrong career 😂
 
just as i said. a situation where one player can profit more by losing than winning and at the same time maybe cause others to lose the value of their investment.

oh,,, its okay in this case because he said he would never do anything like that.

I think that one thing that makes it better in this case is that we knew who had half of Evan. Fedor did not hide that.

I think any time the Calcutta is as big as or larger than the regular prize fund, problems -- or at least suspicions -- will occur.

I wonder if Fedor had all of Fedor.
